Solid pins run through the length of this Chorus-level 11-speed chain, which provides the strength and durability you need for daily training miles without the weight savings of hollow-pin construction found in Record chains. The trade-off keeps the price accessible while maintaining the shifting performance and longevity that matters for riders who log serious mileage. The 5.5mm width accommodates the tighter sprocket spacing required for eleven cogs on a standard cassette body, and the nickel-PTFE surface treatment reduces friction at the roller-to-sprocket contact points.

The chain uses Campagnolo's Ultra-Link connector system, which requires the UT-CN300 chain tool for proper installation. The locking pin design creates a secure connection that holds the chain closed during shifts under load, and you can identify the Ultra-Link by the distinct pin appearance that differs slightly from the standard pins. The solid pin construction throughout the chain distributes stress evenly across all links, which maintains consistent performance as the chain accumulates thousands of shift cycles.

The outer link plates use chamfered edges on both the inner and outer surfaces, which helps the chain climb onto adjacent sprockets during shifts. This plate geometry works with Campagnolo's sprocket tooth profiles to create the smooth, quiet shifting that characterizes properly matched drivetrains. The nickel-PTFE treatment also extends service life for your chainrings and cassette by reducing the metal-on-metal wear that occurs during every shift and pedal stroke.... Read More
