The PC XX1 Eagle 12-speed chain from SRAM is light, quiet and strong
The SRAM PC XX1 chain is made for Eagle 12-speed drivetrains and shines on your mountain bike with its lightweight, durable design and various color options. Hollow pins make the chain lightweight, while Flow Link™ technology with smooth, flat plates ensures precise, butter-soft shifting and almost silent operation. The chain is uncompromisingly strong without any loss of performance and is extremely wear-resistant. Aesthetes will also get their money's worth thanks to the color selection matched to Eagle components.
SRAM's new XX1 Eagle™ groupset works quietly, intuitively, precisely and perfectly. Whether you're chasing seconds in cross country races or conquering epic climbs in the high mountains - the XX1 Eagle™ is made for it. Specially designed for cross-country use, this groupset combines the latest SRAM 1x™ shifting technology with consistent lightweight construction. With an overall gear ratio of 500 percent, the XX1 Eagle™ offers an even smoother and more precise shifting function, optimized durability and performance. To keep you pedaling longer. SRAM's XX1 Eagle™ has reshuffled the cards.
The sound of silence
From the outside, it looks like any other chain. But it has it all. Its completely new design allows for an overall gear ratio that was previously reserved for chains with two chainrings. This chain is the main reason why SRAM's Eagle™ is so smooth-running, precise, durable and quiet. Its links are smoothed, without sharp corners and edges. The advantage of this: velvety smooth, almost silent running and a longer service life for the chainring and cassette. Thanks to the smoother chain plates, the riveting is more even and the tensile strength is higher. The HARD CHROME™ technology increases the running performance of the chain. The titanium-nitride coating protects it from corrosion and reduces friction.
- Groundbreaking new design and technology.
- Completely new development, manufactured using the latest production methods.
- Innovative Eagle™ PowerLock® chain link with FLOW LINK™ technology for better chain guidance and longer running performance.
- The XX1 Eagle™: quiet, tensile & water resistant.
- Unique features and specific chain design for significantly longer life of Eagle™ chainring and cassette.
X-SYNC™
X-SYNC™ 1X chainrings from SRAM ensure maximum performance and durability. The long SRAM X-SYNC™ tooth edges grip the chain earlier than traditional triangular-shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile and the rounded angled edges support chain guidance. In order to offer the best possible performance even in muddy terrain, the X-SYNC™ chainrings have recesses for removing dirt and mud from the inner chain links and rollers. Made in Germany, X-SYNC™ chainrings are a key component of SRAM's 1X™ drivetrain.
Flow Link
The ultra-smooth inner plates of the chain are completely free of edges. This reduces friction on the cassette and chainring. The result: low-noise performance and a longer component life. The chain design enables a narrower profile. This makes the chain more torsion-resistant. Thanks to its smoother outer plates, the riveting is more even and the tensile strength is higher.
HARD CHROME™
The SRAM HARD CHROME™ chain has four times the (wear) strength of SRAM's other chains. This is due to the new machining process for the inner links and rollers. The push-pin strength and overall strength correspond to the current chains. The HARD CHRME™ chain lasts longer and is extremely stable.
PowerLock®
SRAM's chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool-free, secure and consistent way to connect our chains. Although PL requires no special tools for installation, the tight tolerance range means that each PowerLock can only be used once.

Flow Link™:
The ultra-smooth inner plates of the chain are completely free of edges. This reduces friction on the cassette and chainring. The result: low-noise performance and a longer component service life. The chain design enables a narrower profile. This makes the chain more torsion-resistant. Thanks to its smooth outer plates, the riveting is more even and the tensile strength is higher.
Hard Chrome™:
Chains with Hard Chrome have four times the (wear) strength of other SRAM chains. This is due to the machining process for the inner links and rollers. The push-pin strength and overall strength correspond to current SRAM chains. Chains with Hard Chrome last longer and are extremely strong.
PowerLock™
SRAM have developed PowerLock as a tool-free, secure and consistent way to connect SRAM chains. Although no special tools are required to install the PowerLock chain lock, the narrow tolerance range of modern drivetrains means that each PowerLock can only be used once.
X-Sync™:
Chains with X-Sync technology are perfectly matched for use with X-Sync chainrings. X-Sync chainrings from SRAM ensure maximum performance and durability. The long X-Sync tooth edges grip the chain earlier than traditional triangular-shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile as well as the rounded slanted edges support the chain guide: In order to offer the best possible performance even in muddy terrain, the X-Sync chainrings have recesses for removing dirt and mud from the inner chain links and rollers.
