In pursuit of excellence, they respect the chain as one the most important components on the bicycle and perfect it as such.DLC (Diamond Like Coating): Comparable to the creation of diamonds in high temperatures, DLC attains sophisticated chain roller and pin hardness through a unique thermal treatment to create advanced “diamond” durability for reducing friction resistance.Ti-N (GOLD): Enhancing resistance to wear and friction. Less fiction is the central facet to drivetrain efficiency allowing for smoother shifting and interaction between drivetrain parts.Double X Bridge: Ensures the best shifting performance with its X shaped outer link plates.ECO PROTEQ: An almost rust proof coating that can withstand 650hrs of salt sea spray while staying friendly to the environment.
