Description
SRAM Eagle 1×12 Chain: engineered for Endurance
Built as the ultimate power link for modern 1×12 mountain bikes, this chain combines SRAM’s proven shifting technology with enhanced durability for aggressive riders. Its silent-link™ design reduces friction by 18% compared to standard chains, while the reinforced inner plates handle peak torque loads during climbs and descents.
Technical Breakdown:
▸ Patented PowerLock™ system – eliminates master link tools
▸ Corrosion-resistant black oxide coating (tested to 200+ hours wet exposure)
▸ Compatible with all SRAM Eagle™ rear derailleurs (XDR/XD)
▸ Meets ISO 6336-2 fatigue strength standards
Exclusively designed for single-chainring setups – incompatible with front derailleur systems.
Performance Comparison:
Feature | This Model | Standard Eagle | Competitor Chain |
---|---|---|---|
Weight (126 links) | 285g | 298g | 312g |
Pin Retention System | Double-grip | Single-grip | Standard |

Ideal for:
– Competitive XC racers needing consistent shifts under pressure
– Enduro riders tackling prolonged steep terrain
– Adventure cyclists requiring low-maintenance reliability
The asymmetrical outer plates reduce friction by directing lubricant flow precisely where needed – a feature absent in competitor’s standard chains. Field tests show 40% fewer skipped shifts compared to leading alternatives after 100 hours of trail use.
