SRAM Rival - 12 Speed Chain - Powerlock

The Flattop technology of the SRAM Rival chain creates a lighter, quieter, stronger chain that’s compatible with 12-speed 1x and 2x eTap AXS drivetrains. Ride far, long and fast—this chain can go the distance.MODEL ID: CN-RIV-D1 FEATURES Flattop technology allows for a narrower chain with quieter operation and increased strength and durability Use for both 1x and 2x eTap AXS Includes Flattop PowerLock TECHNOLOGY POWERLOCK SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect their chains. While PL does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10- and 11-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only. FLATTOP To enable X-Range gearing technology, SRAM developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop technology not only allowed for a wider gear range, but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength an
