The SRAM RED E1 Flattop Chain represents the next evolution of SRAM's flagship road drivetrain technology, delivering lower weight, exceptional durability, and ultra-smooth shiftin g for SRAM AXS 12-speed systems. Building on the proven HollowPin design, SRAM reduced weight by an additional 13 grams while maintaining the strength required for high-performance road riding. Flattop technology creates a narrower, stronger chain profile that runs quieter and lasts longer than previous designs. Hard chrome-plated inner link plates and rollers improve wear resistance while delivering fast, precise shifting mile after mile. Lightweight cut-out outer plates further reduce weight without compromising durability, making the RED E1 chain an ideal choice for racers and performance-focused riders seeking maximum drivetrain efficiency.
