SRAMEagle PCX01 12spd Chain (Return to Product Page)

Just picked up the SRAM Eagle PCX01 chain and honestly, it's been great. If you're looking for a 12-speed chain that won't break the bank, but still performs really well, this is it.

Shifting is smooth, installation was easy, and it's been running quiet since day one. I was a bit hesitant to go with this over some of the pricier options, but I'm glad I did. It handles the wide-range cassette without any issues and feels like it'll last.

For the price, you really can't beat it. Why spend twice as much when this does the job perfectly? If you need a reliable chain for your 12-speed setup and don't want to overspend, the PCX01 is definitely the way to go. Best bang for your buck, no question.

No complaints- lasts a lot longer than cheaper eagle chains, so worth the money imo.

Great derailleur and chain. I ended up purchasing a Garbaruk 10-52 cassette instead of the Eagle 10-52. The reason is the ratio is much better on the Garbaruk as the jump on the Eagle is 10 teeth from 52 to 42, on the Garbaruk the jump is 52 to 44. The 44 is a very usable gear coupled with a 42t chainring on my gravel bike, I do a lot of climbing!

There is a significant difference in lifespan for the X01 chains vs the GX chains. I don't find much of a performance difference in the X01 shifter or derailleur and the weight savings are negligible, but the X01 chains and cassettes are worth the cost of upgrading based on lifespan alone.

This chain may be slightly heavier than others but it can handle tough racing abuse. Durability wins out with this chain!
