Durability!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023

The quality on this bicycle chain is by far of excellent durability than that of a Sram Red 11 speed chain and fine craftsmanship. When shifting gears , it glides very smoothly.

100 bucks for a chain and missing parts

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2023

Chain looks great however it came with only one half of the quick release link. It is next to impossible to find another half and even if you do you can't combine two different ones together. The number that Amazon list is for a completely different company so you cannot use that number. Absolutely ridiculous for a chain this expensive.

Colored Chain Changes Cyclist's Life

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017

I was going to leave 4 stars due to the price being double that of comparable non-colored chains. Then I realized, as a capitalist, they should charge whatever people like us are willing to pay for the undeniable benefits of chains that match our bikes... So, instead of docking a star, I am forced to commend them on pricing this chain right at the point that I would still buy it.

It's a great chain & if you typically keep yours clean, it definitely looks amazing. It's much more expensive than a non-colored version, but I think everyone would agree with me that the secret to being a faster cyclist & overall life happiness is to pick a bike/cycling clothing color scheme & stick with it religiously.

In fact, my brother co-authored this investment banking book best-seller & attributes all of his success to having a red KMC chain:
Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers and Acquisitions

After a season of use, I can see the edges of the green paint starting to wear back slightly, but I was expecting this. I keep my shifters well adjusted so the chain doesn't rub against the derailleur. I assume that if this were not the case, the paint would wear faster.

Don’t even second guess. You want the color, buy the chain

Who cares how durable this chain is; it looks amazing! Got the green. Using on Ultegra 8000 set-up. Quiet, quick shifting, and much lighter than my previous KMC chain. If you like KMC and want to add some color to your machine this is a great FUNCTIONAL way to do it.

Great chain.

Put in in aug 2017. Lasted 800-900 miles of xc/single track use with roughly 90-100k vert.
Wear is approx. .65-.70
Was installed with a new sram xg 1180 groupset.

Was superb and replaced it with the exact same one. I had the gold edtion non-DLC before it. Put 450 miles on it with only 50k vert before it snapped i repaired but snapped again. Wear was at .75-.8. Im equally hard on all my chains i will typically only clean / lube the chain every 3-6 rides with 30-70 miles between intervals. Im 200lbs. This chain never snapped. Just took my the tq i threw at it like a champ.

Looks great on my MountainBike. Expensive for a bike chain. Luckily I came across some extra money 😊

Looks can be deceiving!

Rode on this chain for 100+ miles and always noticed a heavy friction/ drag coming from the chain. I tried several times cleaning it up with degreaser and reliving but the ride was not the same as my original Shimano Ultegra chain. Too bad I can’t return it, seems I’m a day late. For all others, save your money!!

One of the best chains I’ve ever had. Shifts perfectly and runs quiet.

Quick to stretch

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019

Color: GreenSize: 116 LinksVerified Purchase

It worked well for the time it was on my bike. It looked good. The paint lasted as long as the chair, but the chain stretched faster than any chain I have ever owned. I got about 1500 miles out of it. I don’t feel like this was worth the money. I won’t be buying this again.

Excellent chain!!!!

Excellent chain, super slick coating!!! Rivers in the links are impossible to get out with a lightweight chain tool. That is a good thing and a bad thing, but once you have it the right length it’s good,
