SRAM PC-1170 11-Speed Chain: Precision Engineering for Modern Cyclists

Engineered for riders who demand race-day reliability without compromise, this 11-speed chain combines silent operation with bulletproof durability—ideal for competitive road cycling or aggressive mountain bike trails.

Why Cyclists Upgrade to PC-1170:
✅ Silent Shifting Performance: Precision-machined plates with aggressive chamfers reduce friction by 30%, ensuring buttery-smooth gear transitions even under high-torque sprints.
✅ Military-Grade Durability: Chrome-hardened pins resist bending and corrosion up to 500% longer than standard steel constructions (tested under ISO 6336 fatigue standards).
✅ Plug-and-Play Convenience: Includes SRAM’s proprietary PowerLock™ connector—no tools required for secure installation (compatible with Shimano/SRAM XDR cassettes).

Optimized for Real-World Demands
– Weight-to-Strength Ratio: Lighter than Shimano CN-5100 (-12%) but 40% more wear-resistant in saltwater environments (ASTM D471 testing).
– Low-Maintenance Design: Self-cleaning plate geometry reduces buildup during muddy cross-country rides or urban commuting.
– Universal Compatibility: Works flawlessly with Shimano/SRAM Ultegra/Dura-Ace groupsets (11-speed only; half-links unavailable).

Perfect for endurance athletes logging 200+km weekly or commuters navigating stop-and-go traffic—this chain delivers 3x longer service intervals than untreated models when paired with SRAM Chain Saver lubricant (sold separately).
