ENGINEERED FOR QUIET, STRONG, AND RELIABLE PERFORMANCE, THE SRAM RIVAL E1 FLATTOP CHAIN IS BUILT FOR MODERN 12-SPEED ROAD AND 13-SPEED XPLR AXS DRIVETRAINS.
Featuring SRAM's distinctive Flattop chain profile, it delivers smoother shifting, reduced drivetrain noise, and increased durability for high-performance road and gravel riding.
The unique Flattop design allows for a narrower chain that works seamlessly with SRAM's X-Range gearing systems while improving strength and efficiency. Hard Chrome plated inner link plates significantly increase wear resistance and longevity, while precision cut-outs in the outer plates reduce weight without sacrificing durability.
Designed to handle long rides, demanding terrain, and high-torque pedalling, the Rival E1 chain is a dependable upgrade or replacement for SRAM AXS road and gravel drivetrains. A Flattop PowerLock quick link is included for secure, tool-free installation.
