The KMC DLC11 is KMC’s top-end 11 speed chain, finished in a striking blue or green Diamond Like Coating. It weighs just 243 grams and is built to last up to three times longer than a standard chain, while running with low friction.

If you want your race bike or show bike to stand out, or you are tired of replacing chains every season, this is the chain to fit. It pairs eye-catching colour with genuine performance gains for keen road and mountain bike cyclists.

Lasts up to three times longer

The outer plates are Titanium Carbon Nitride coated, the same surface technology used in the Swiss watch industry, increasing plate hardness by over 300% so the chain resists wear far longer.

Seriously light

Hollow pins and hollow inner and outer plates bring the weight down to just 243 grams for 116 links, saving weight where it counts.

Fast, precise shifting

A double elongated X-Bridge shape and dynamic chamfer angles help the chain move across the cassette quickly and accurately.

Colour that makes a statement

Choose Blue or Green to match your frame, bar tape or components. The contrasting black links make the colour pop.
