Engineered for speed and durability, KMC’s DLC12 uses a diamond-like (TiCN) surface to reduce friction and wear for a smoother, longer-lasting drivetrain. Precisely chamfered plates and KMC’s Double X-Bridge deliver crisp shifts across today’s 12-speed cassettes. Each chain ships 126 links with a 5.2 mm pin and an included 12-speed MissingLink for quick installation. Compatible with all major 12-speed systems except SRAM FlatTop road.
