SRAM Apex Flattop Chain | 12-speed

SRAM Apex Flattop Chain | 12-speed

Flattop technology is much more than a unique look. It allows our 12-speed chain to be lighter, stronger, and more durable than its predecessors. The Apex chain employs the same construction as the Rival and Force chains, accentuated with an elegant polished grey finish.

Features:

• 12-speed compatibility
• Flattop technology enables a quieter operation and increased strength and durability through a narrower chain.
• Includes Flattop PowerLock.

Technologies:

X-Range™ Racers and their gear are achieving higher speeds and greater efficiency than ever before. However, gear ratios have not kept up with these advances, often limited by traditional constraints. SRAM has revolutionized gear system design to enhance the contemporary cycling experience. The new Deep Range technology not only offers a broader gear range but also ensures a smoother, more useful gear progression. Advanced shift settings, enabled by AXS™, make the simplicity of a single-speed system available in a two-speed setup, ensuring riders always have the right gear.

Flattop™ To accommodate Deep Range technology, SRAM developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop technology not only facilitated this slimmer chain but also contributed to quieter operation, increased strength, and longevity.

Powerlock® SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock® as a tool-free, secure, and consistent method for connecting chains. While PowerLock® does not require special tools for installation, the exceptionally tight tolerances of 10-, 11-, and 12-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock® is good for a one-time application only.
