FAQ

Q: What drivetrains is this chain compatible with? A: This chain is compatible with SRAM Force 12-speed road groupsets and 13-speed XPLR AXS dropbar gravel groupsets. It is not compatible with Shimano, Campagnolo, or SRAM Eagle mountain bike drivetrains due to the unique Flattop design.

Q: What is Flattop technology and how does it differ from standard chains? A: Flattop features a flat-topped outer plate profile instead of the traditional rounded design. This allows for a narrower chain that runs quieter, shifts more smoothly, and is stronger and more durable than conventional chains - perfect for long road and gravel rides with countless gear changes.

Q: Why do I need a specific PowerLock for this chain? A: The Flattop chain uses a dedicated Flattop PowerLock connector that matches the unique flat-topped profile. Standard PowerLock connectors are not compatible with Flattop chains. The correct Flattop PowerLock is included with this chain so you have everything you need for installation.

Q: How does the hard chrome plating benefit the chain? A: Hard chrome plating on the inner link plates and rollers creates an extremely hard, smooth surface that significantly reduces friction and wear. This means your chain, cassette, and chainrings all last longer, saving you money on component replacement over time.

Q: How many links do I need - 114 or 126? A: Road bikes typically use 114 links for standard setups. The 126-link option suits bikes with longer chainstays, larger cassettes, or specific gravel frame geometries. Measure your old chain or consult SRAM's chain sizing guide for your specific groupset and frame combination.
