The C-Link master link gives you tool-free chain removal for the Ekar C13 13-speed chain, which makes cleaning and maintenance faster than the traditional pin connection method. You cut the chain to length with a compatible chain tool, then install the C-Link the same way you'd use any other quick link system—the two halves snap together and lock under tension when you rotate the cranks. This eliminates the need for the specialized Campagnolo chain tool and peening procedure that the pin connection requires.

The link uses the same C67 NiCrMo2 high-tensile steel construction as the outer plates on the Ekar chain, with a nickel surface treatment that matches the chain's corrosion resistance. At 4.9 millimeters wide, the C-Link maintains the same narrow profile as the C13 chain, which means it clears the tight spacing between the 13-speed cassette cogs without interference. Campagnolo designed this link specifically for gravel riding conditions where you're more likely to need frequent chain access for cleaning after muddy or dusty rides.

This is a single-use link—Campagnolo recommends installing a fresh C-Link each time you reinstall a chain rather than reusing the old one. The link works exclusively with the Ekar C13 13-speed chain and won't fit 12-speed or 11-speed Campagnolo chains due to different width specifications. Package includes one complete C-Link with both halves.
