The KMC X Flat chain is designed for cyclists running modern SRAM 12 and 13-speed drivetrains who prioritize efficient drivetrain performance and reduced maintenance. By utilizing a specialized flat-top profile and pre-applied GO Wax, this chain offers superior wear resistance and a cleaner operation compared to traditional wet-lubed systems. The primary caveat is that riders must adhere to specific maintenance intervals to maintain the integrity of the wax coating in harsh conditions.

No, this chain is specifically designed for SRAM 12 and 13-speed drivetrains that require a flat-top profile.
Using standard oil will degrade the benefits of the pre-applied wax coating and attract more dirt. It is best to stick to wax-based lubricants.
No, the chain comes ready to ride with the KMC GO Wax pre-applied.
The chain comes with 126 links, which can be shortened to fit your specific bike's requirements.
KMC recommends using a new Missing Link if the chain has been removed for service to ensure structural integrity.
Check the chain for any stiff links or signs of dirt buildup; re-wax the chain if it appears dry.
Ensure the derailleur is in the smallest cog and the chain is not under tension while snapping the link into place.
Although the chain is nickel-plated, constant exposure to salt or water requires a fresh layer of wax to protect the metal.
Installation should be performed using the provided Missing Link. Always ensure the chain is routed correctly through the derailleur cage and over the cassette. Regarding compatibility, this chain is strictly for SRAM 12/13-speed drivetrains using Flat-Top technology. For care, do not use harsh degreasers that remove the factory wax. For maintenance, clean the chain gently with a dry brush or a light, wax-compatible solvent if heavily soiled, then re-apply a high-quality wax lubricant at the recommended intervals of 250 km for road and 100 km for MTB.
