X-Bridge
The KMC X-Series has been designed with the specific characteristics of the Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo systems in mind and will meet the most demanding requirements. Elaborately designed and manufactured, the X-Bridge technology, thanks to precisely chamfered plates, allows smooth propulsion and perfect gear changes in all driving situations.
The Non-Directional design makes it independent of direction which allows maximum compatibility on MTB or Race bikes. With its unique stretch-proof treatment, the durability has been enhanced massively by reducing the attrition between the inner plates and pin. As a result, chain life has been significantly prolonged. The upper bridge forms a slant vault parallel to the tip of the tooth movement. This vault shape makes the tooth and chain engage much more precisely.
Ti-N Coating
Titanium nitride is a chemical compound of the elements titanium and nitrogen. The ceramic material of typical golden yellow colour is characterised by very high hardness and corrosion resistance. KMC’s special Titanium Nitride coating not only looks fantastic, it has an ultra-smooth surface and is extremely durable.
