KMC plays a huge role in the world of bicycle chains, often found as OEM chains on bikes from major manufacturers, as replacement or upgrades for stock chains, or simple because many riders believe in them. In fact, KMC only makes chains, so you know there is some serious, specific knowledge and experience behind the engineering. The X11.93 11-Speed Chain is designed to work properly with Shimano, SRAM and FSA drivetrains. It runs smoothly and quietly, and is truly functional, not some B-level performance. One major reason Shimano drivetrain users have opted for KMC chains over the years is the the KMC Quick Link, a much easier, and safer for non-techy types, than driving the pin in a Shimano chain. Many riders also choose to carry a spare link in case of a road emergency as well.

KMC's X-Bridge technology helps to assist shift loads when the chain is at an angle. The outer links are nickel-plated for durability and corrosion resistance, while the rollers and bushings are lubricated at construction. The 118 links give you plenty of chain to work with, and KMC rates the X11.93 11-Speed Chain for road and mountain drivetrain use.
