KMC XEL Chain - WAXED | Nickel Plated | 11-speed - silver

To meet even the highest demands, KMC has designed the chains of the X-Series with the specific characteristics of Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo drivetrains in mind. The outstanding property is the Double X-Bridge construction with precisely manufactured plates that feature dynamically chamfered edges. The result are gear changes that border on perfection and maximum smoothness. And with their perforated inner and outer plates, the XEL models also successfully address the issue of weight reduction.

This version of the X11 EL chain also has a nickel plating, which provides greater corrosion resistance, durability and surface hardness. The premium chain is given the finishing touch with GO WAX chain wax, which effectively improves shifting performance with its friction-reducing properties and extends the service life of the drivetrain.

Features of the KMC X11EL WAXED chain

• low weight thanks to EL design (Extra Light)
• chamfered Double X-Bridge plates for perfect shifting performance
• corrosion-resistant nickel coating (plating)
• treated with GO chain wax
• compatibility: 11-speed shifting systems
• dimensions: 1/2" x 11/128"
• rivet length: 5.65 mm
• weight: approx. 251 g (110 links; manufacturer's specification)

Extra Light (EL) | Slotted inner and outer plates save weight without compromising the running properties and durability of the chains in the EL series.

Double X-Bridge | The precisely chamfered outer plates have precisely defined angles. This design enables not only faster but also more precise shifting.

Nickel Plated | Nickel is an alloy metal that is mainly used to refine steel. It makes steel corrosion-resistant, increases its hardness as well as toughness and is very effective as rust protection.

GO WAX | A noticeable reduction in friction and a significant improvement in shifting performance. The innovative dry wax formula from GO WAX makes this possible. The advanced KMC chain wax not only ensures optimum efficiency, but also extends the service life of the drivetrain by forming a water-repellent microfilm on the chain. This prevents permanently both heavy dirt adhesion and accelerated chain wear.
