SRAM Red FlatTop E1 Bicycle Chains SRAM took the lightest and most durable chain they’ve ever made and somehow made it even lighter, with absolutely no compromises to its strength or reliability. This next-generation RED chain is engineered for pinnacle performance and is faster, stronger, and more durable than its predecessor. The innovative design features HollowPin construction—which is lighter and stronger than a solid pin—and incorporates carefully placed cutouts in the outer and inner plates, successfully shedding a remarkable 13g from the previous generation RED chain. Advanced Technology for Enhanced Durability The RED chain incorporates several key technologies to maximize efficiency, minimize friction, and extend the lifespan of your drivetrain components. Flattop Technology: This unique profile enables a narrower chain design, resulting in quieter operation and significantly increased strength and durability. ✅ HollowPin Construction: Utilizes the lightweight HollowPin construction for increased overall strength and drivetrain efficiency, a critical feature for elite performance. Hard Chrome Plating: Features Hard Chrome plated inner link plates and rollers, which dramatically reduce wear and prolong the life of the entire chain. ✅ Weight Reduction and Specifications Weight savings were achieved through strategic material removal without compromising the chain's structural integrity. Significant Weight Loss: The cutout design in the outer and inner plates resulted in the chain being 13g lighter than the previous RED chain. Super-Light Plates: Designed with super-light outer and inner plates that have strategically placed cut-outs to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio. Length Options: Available in both 126 and 114 links.
