The KMC DLC 11-Speed Chain is KMC's flagship high-performance chain, built with Diamond-Like Coating (DLC) for extreme durability, ultra-smooth shifting, and a bold premium finish. The DLC coating, made of titanium-carbon nitride, minimizes friction, resists wear, and provides superior corrosion protection. Designed with hollow pins and slotted inner and outer plates, the chain achieves a super-lightweight build without compromising on tensile strength. KMC’s Double X-Bridge technology ensures rapid, precise gear changes even under high loads. Available in four striking color variants — Black/Black, Black/Blue, Black/Yellow, and Black/Red — this chain is designed for riders who demand both top-tier performance and standout aesthetics. Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed drivetrains, it’s the ultimate chain for serious cyclists who ride hard and ride loud.
