The KMC X12 chain features X-bridge technology, designed to provide perfect shifting and dynamic propulsion. Developed with the specific characteristics of Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo systems in mind, this 12-speed chain utilises precisely chamfered plates to ensure smooth performance in all riding situations. It is a choice trusted by many top athletes in professional cycling.
Treated with the innovative KMC GO CHAIN WAX, this chain offers enhanced durability and efficiency. Unlike oil-based lubricants, the wax forms a protective barrier that is less susceptible to dirt build-up, which helps to increase drivetrain life and reduce the frequency of cleaning. Please note that due to the colouring process, the final appearance may vary from the images shown.
KMC GO Wax Benefits:
- Long-lasting: Once applied, the wax dries to form a protective barrier that outlasts oil-based products.
- Less dirt: The waxed finish attracts less dirt, minimising common causes of wear and ensuring smooth operation.
- Biodegradable: The formula is free from PFAS and harsh solvents.
- Easy to use: Simple to apply, with no need to dewax the chain before rewaxing.
Care and Rewaxing:
To maintain performance, KMC recommends specific care intervals. For road bikes, care for the chain at the latest after 250 km or at least once a month. For MTB, cross, and frequent riders in all weather conditions, maintenance is recommended after 100 km at the latest.
When rewaxing, ensure the chain is dry before application. Shake the bottle and apply the wax to the inside of the chain in one complete turn. Do not wipe off excess wax, and allow it to dry completely before riding, especially in wet conditions.
