KMC X11EL Waxed 11-Speed Chain

Pro level 11-Speed chain with the features of the X-Series but Extra Light due to the punched plates and exceptional Ti-N coating for a long lasting chain.

Thanks to the innovative formula of KMC GO chain wax, the premium KMC chains treated with this wax offer unrivaled durability and efficiency. Compared to oil-based lubricants, waxed chains are less susceptible to dirt build-up, increasing drivetrain life and reducing cleaning intervals.

The KMC X-Series was developed with the specific characteristics of the Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo systems in mind. Thanks to precisely chamfered plates, the X-Bridge technology enables perfect shifting and smooth propulsion in all riding situations. The X Series enjoys the trust of many top athletes in professional cycling.

The KMC X series chain, a product of decades of R&D, integrates cutting-edge technology and innovation. Its X-bridge structure ensures compatibility with all shifting systems, solving compatibility issues and providing reliable support. Enhanced by the KMC GO formula and special wax treatment, this chain offers high-efficiency pedaling and doubles durability. Unlike oil chains, wax chains attract less dirt, making maintenance easy and clean, extending drivetrain lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs. Choose KMC X series for superior performance and longevity.

Technology

KMC GO Wax Benefits

Experience the next level of chain performance with KMC's new, advanced dry wax formula. Designed to significantly reduce friction, enhance shifting and providing optimum efficiency, KMC GO Wax extends the life of your drivetrain by creating a durable microfilm on your chain that repels water and resists stickiness.

For a cleaner, faster, and longer-lasting performance.

• Durability: Once applied, the wax dries to form a protective barrier that outlasts oil-based products
• Cleaner Performance: KMC's waxed chains attract less dirt, minimizing the common causes of wear and ensuring smoother operation
• Maintenance Made Simple: With minimal dirt accumulation, your drivetrain requires less frequent care. Refreshing the wax is straightforward-simply use a dry brush or cloth. No degreasing is necessary; a simple touch-up with KMC GO Wax keeps your chain in top condition
• Eco Friendly: KMC GO Wax is biodegradable and free from PFAS and harsh solvents, making it a responsible choice for both your bike and the environment

BlackTech

Is black and stays black. KMC BlackTech is not a simple coating, but a surface treatment in which the colour becomes part of the material. The process is two-step - firstly, each individual chain component is treated and then the process is repeated with the assembled elements. The chain thus permanently retains its rich black colour and is also highly resistant to rust.

Gold Ti-N Coating

Titanium nitride is a chemical compound of titanium and nitrogen. The ceramic material of typical golden yellow colour is characterised by extreme hardness and corrosion resistance. This special coating has an ultra-smooth surface, and is extremely durable.

Silver Nickel-Plated Coating

Nickel is an alloying metal primarily used for refining steel. With corrosion resistance, enhanced hardness, and proves highly effective as rust protection.
