- . It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it’s also the biggest contributor to the Eagle‚Ñ¢ drivetrain’s ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle‚Ñ¢ chain’s links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength. Hard Chrome‚Ñ¢ technology extends the chain’s optimal performance life, and a Titanium Nitride coating on the Gold and Black models decreases corrosion and further reduces friction.

The design allows a narrower overall profile that can withstand greater angles, and also allows for a flatter outer-plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and enhanced overall strength Hard Chrome: The SRAM Hard Chrome‚Ñ¢ chain has four times the elongation (wear) resistance to their other chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Pushpin strength and ultimate strength are equivalent to SRAM’s current chains. The Hard Chrome‚Ñ¢ chain lasts longer and is just as strong PowerLock: SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock¬Æ¬†as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect their chains. While PowerLock¬Æ¬†does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10-, 11- and 12-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock¬Æ¬†is good for a one-time application only X-Sync‚Ñ¢: The SRAM X-Sync‚Ñ¢ tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, helps manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-Sync‚Ñ¢ chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-Sync‚Ñ¢ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x‚Ñ¢ drivetrain Buy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Chains.
Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 151 different products in the Chains category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 407 products from SRAM (although only 31 of the 407 are in the Chains category).
Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Chains. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.
Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from SRAM. Below we’re going to get into the detail of SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain to help you see how the prices stack up.
We start this price analysis by looking at the price you can expect to pay for Chains. There are 151 different products available at Chain Reaction Cycles, and of those 151, the average price is £25.29. There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £2.95 and most expensive was £115.
The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: SRAM. The average price was £162.54 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £1.5 up to £1724.99 with SRAM products.
And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of SRAM products that appear specifically in the Chains category. So you can see that the price of SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain at £39.95 is great value considering the average price of SRAM Chains is £20.85 and the price varies from £5.99.
It’s also worth bearing in mind that we managed to find SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain during our price scan of several cycle retailers, for the amazing price of £39.95 which represents a £10.05 or 20% saving against RRP. If you think SRAM PC-X01 Eagle 12 Speed Chain ticks all of your boxes in terms of quality and features then it’s more than likely going to be a winner bearing in mind the price.
