Good value 12-speed chain
Great SRAM chain that does the job. Reliable and last a long time as long as you keep up with maintenance. Can't justify spending more on the higher end chains when the weight savings are so minimal. IMO, stick to RIVAL especially for a consumable part like this!

Most reliable
The Rival AXS chain came on my bike new from the LBS along with the complete Rival AXS drivetrain. Never a hiccup nor issue. Definitely a great chain I put some 2000 miles on and still when checked, is in tolerance.

Flat as a flattop!
I promise you will never find a chain with a flatter top on it. Trust the inventors--SRAM--to always come up with solutions to problems that never existed.

fits perfectly and does the job
I have Rival axs 12 speed 48/33 and 10 x 36. This chain fits perfectly without taking links out. My first chain lasted 2 years and I ride average 75 miles a week. Good product.

It's a chain
It's a chain and it works well. Just as good as the Force and Red chains but cheaper. No issues.

Great value 12 speed chain
The chain works great and is very easy to install. I use the hot wax method and expect to get lots of miles on this chain before replacement.
