TECHNOLOGY
Powerlock:
SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, sure and consistent way to connect our chains. While PL does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10-and 11-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLink is good for a one-time application only.
Flattop:
To enable X-Range gearing technology, we 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 and durability.
X-Range:
Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before and riders are expanding what's possible with drop bar bikes. X-Range is gearing for today's road riding. We completely reimagined road gearing for wider range, more useful and smoother gear progression, as well as smarter shift settings-enabled by AXS. With X-Range, you're always in the right gear.
