HG-X Chain uses a directional design with specifically shaped inner and outer plates to optimise shifting over the chainset and cassette
Outer plate design has been developed to reduce the chance of chain suck
The inner plate has been developed for better contact with gears providing smoother shifting under high load, giving efficient pedalling, increased rigidity and near silent running
Durability is assured through a chromising treatment on link pins, and the heat treatment of rollers, pins, and plates
Open design of inner links increase mud shedding ability
Mushrooming of the pins gives unsurpassed side-plate retention, enabling the chain to far exceed the BS/ISO standard for breaking force
Chain is optimised for Shimano 10-speed HG-X MTB drivetrains only
Corrosion-resistant Zinc-alloy plating and grey finish on inner and outer plates
