KMC X11.93 Chain

KMC's X11.93 is our go-to chain for 11 speed cyclocross, adventure, and gravel bikes thanks to a durable design and easy install/remove with a master link. 

• It offers high-performance, but is inexpensive enough that you can carry a spare to the races "just in case". It doesn't make sense to use top-end chains for 'cross, because even the best chains wear quickly in cyclocross
• Highly-compatible design works for all brands 11-speed drivetrains - Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo
• Includes a master link, making installation and removal for cleaning a snap

This chain comes with 116 links, long enough for any cyclocross, gravel, touring etc. bike (except tandems) and is an attractive shiny silver color. The X-bridge outer plate is stretch resistant and half-nickel plating stands up to bike washing. 

Cyclocross can really do a number on your bike's drivetrain, in particular the chain. If you race in wet / muddy conditions, it's a good idea to have 2 chains - one on the bike, and one being cleaned. Post-race, swap the two - the master link used with and included with KMC chains makes this very easy.
