SRAM Force AXS D1 Flattop Chain

Beyond an incremental improvement. The Flattop technology of the SRAM Force chain creates a lighter, quieter, stronger chain. Ride far, long and fast-this chain can go the distance.

Technologies:

• PowerLock: SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect their chains. While PL does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10- and 11-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only
• Flattop: To enable X-Range gearing technology, SRAM developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop technology not only allowed for a wider gear range, but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength and durability
• X-Range: Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders are expanding what's possible with drop bar bikes. X-Range is gearing for today's road riding. We completely reimagined road gearing for wider range, more useful and smoother gear progression, as well as smarter shift settings—enabled by AXS. With X-Range, you're always in the right gear
