The SRAM Rival E1 12/13-Speed Flattop Chain with PowerLock offers a balance of strength, efficiency, and low weight for modern drop bar drivetrains. Designed for smooth, quiet operation under load, it features advanced surface treatments and smart engineering details that improve performance, longevity, and reliability. Whether for road or gravel, this chain is built to perform across all conditions.Key Features and Benefits:Flattop chain profile with narrower, optimised shape: Enables quieter operation and increased strength. This improves drivetrain longevity and reduces noise during high-torque efforts.Hard Chrome plated inner links: Reduces friction and resists wear from chainring and cassette contact. This results in longer service life and better shift quality over time.Nickel-plated outer and inner links with solid pins: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural durability. Riders benefit from consistent performance across varied weather and terrain.Outer link cut-outs for reduced weight: Removes excess material without compromising strength. The outcome is a lighter chain that helps reduce overall system weight for improved responsiveness.Compatible with 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR AXS groupsets: Designed for full integration with SRAM s drop bar drivetrains. Ensures seamless fit and flawless shifting across both disciplines.Includes PowerLock connector: Allows tool-free installation and secure closure. This makes chain setup fast and reliable, reducing maintenance downtime.For riders prioritising a drivetrain that stays quiet, resists wear, and supports precise shifting, this chain delivers on all fronts. It combines SRAM s proven Flattop profile with robust treatments that extend service life. The reduced weight through cut-outs also supports performance-oriented setups without compromising strength. It is fully compatible with SRAM s latest 12- and 13-speed systems, ensuring consistent performance for both road and gravel use.Upgrade your drivetrain with a chain built for lasting performance, reduced noise, and precise shifting. Engineered for riders who need durability and compatibility in a lightweight package.Specifications:Compatibility Speed (Chain): 12, 13Chain length: 114 links, 126 linksColour Outer link: SilverColour Inner link: SilverChain connector: PowerLock D1Inner link finish: NickelOuter link finish: NickelPin variant: Solid pinPin treatment: Chrome hardenedChain technology: Road Flattop E1E-bike approved: Yes
