How it works:

The KMC X12 chain uses a non-directional, double X-bridge design to optimize chain-to-cog contact for faster and smoother shifting. The Titanium Nitride (Ti-N) coating reduces friction and repels grime, helping the chain stay cleaner longer while resisting rust. Its high-strength construction handles tough terrain and aggressive riding with ease. The included reusable MissingLink makes installation and maintenance simple and quick, with no need for chain tools during reassembly.
