The SRAM PC1170 Hollow Pin 11 Speed Chain with PowerLock offers precise shifting, quiet performance, and long-lasting durability for demanding riders. Its hollow pin design reduces weight without sacrificing strength, while chrome hardened pins extend wear life. Combined with PowerLock tool-free connection and 11-speed compatibility, it provides smooth performance across modern drivetrains.Key Features and Benefits:Hollow pin construction: Each pin is hollow rather than solid, which reduces the overall weight of the chain. This helps improve efficiency by lowering rotational mass, leading to a lighter and faster drivetrain performance.Chrome hardened pins: The pins undergo a hardening treatment that increases resistance to wear. This means the chain lasts longer under high load, giving more riding hours before replacement is needed.Heavily chamfered outer plates: The outer plates are shaped with deep chamfers to guide the chain smoothly between cogs. This ensures cleaner gear changes and reduces noise, leading to more reliable shifting on every ride.PowerLock connector: The chain uses SRAM s tool-free PowerLock link. This design makes installation quick and secure, while allowing a single-use connection that improves reliability, ensuring the chain runs safely under load.Durability and consistent performance are the core strengths of this chain. Its combination of hollow pin design, advanced pin treatment, and chamfered plates work together to reduce weight, extend lifespan, and deliver smooth shifting across the cassette. Riders who want dependable efficiency in an 11-speed system will find this chain a practical upgrade.Choose a chain that combines strength, precision, and ease of use. The SRAM PC1170 is designed to meet the needs of modern drivetrains, offering both performance and reliability in one.
