KMC E12 EPT 12-Speed E-Bike Chain, 130 Links, Dark Silver

The E12 chain is a remarkably robust and versatile design, specifically engineered for e-bikes. It is capable of efficiently handling the high stresses and demands placed on the drivetrain by these powerful electric bicycles. The chain features a 1/2" x 11/128" pin length of 5.2 mm and comprises 130 links, with a dark silver color.

This chain boasts a range of advanced features that make it an exceptional choice for e-bike applications. Its Hi-Performance Triple X-Durability ensures unmatched chain life, while the Anti Rust/e-Bike Non Directional EcoProTeQ coating provides superior protection against corrosion. The EcoProTeQ (EPT) technology has been thoroughly tested, surpassing 650 hours of salt spray exposure, demonstrating its exceptional anti-rust capabilities.

Designed specifically for mid-engine driven e-bikes, such as those from Bosch, Panasonic, and AEG, the E12 chain exhibits high torsional resistance, enabling it to withstand the rigorous shifting and high-torque demands of these specialized e-bike systems. Its compatibility extends to 12x Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM MTB drivetrains, although it is not compatible with SRAM road groups due to a difference in pin length.

The Non-Directional Design of the E12 chain allows for maximum compatibility, ensuring that it can be assembled without regard to direction. This feature makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from mountain biking to racing, providing a seamless integration with various drivetrain configurations.

In summary, the E12 chain is a remarkably robust and versatile component, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of e-bike drivetrains. Its advanced features, including Hi-Performance Triple X-Durability, Anti Rust/e-Bike Non Directional EcoProTeQ coating, and compatibility with 12x drivetrains, make it an excellent choice for e-bike enthusiasts seeking a reliable and long-lasting chain solution.
