KMC X11EL Waxed Chain 118L

KMC X11EL Waxed Chain 118L

This pro-level, 11-speed KMC chain combines the high-performance features of the X-Series with an Extra Light design due to punched plates and a robust Ti-N coating, making it a durable and efficient choice for serious riders.

Enhanced with the KMC GO Chain Wax formula, this premium chain delivers outstanding durability and reduced friction. Waxed chains are less prone to dirt build-up than oil-lubricated options, extending drivetrain life and requiring less frequent cleaning.

The X-Series has been engineered for optimal compatibility with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo systems. Featuring X-Bridge technology with precisely chamfered plates, it provides smooth, reliable shifting. Trusted by top athletes, the X-Series chain offers superior propulsion and performance.

KMC GO Wax Benefits

Long-lasting: Forms a protective barrier, outlasting oil-based products  
Less dirt: Reduces dirt build-up, minimising wear for consistent smooth operation  
Biodegradable: Free from PFAS and harsh solvents  
Easy to use: No need to dewax before reapplication  

Gold Ti-N Coating

The titanium nitride coating, known for its golden yellow hue, delivers exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance. This ultra-smooth, highly durable coating stands up to demanding conditions.

BlackTech

KMC's BlackTech coating permanently bonds to the material, retaining a rich black colour and resisting rust. This unique, two-step process treats each component individually, then assembles them for maximum durability.
