Double X Bridge construction sits at the center of what makes KMC's X-series chains shift so well. The X10.93 applies this plate design to a 10-speed chain that works across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo drivetrains, making it a straightforward replacement regardless of which ecosystem you're running. The chamfered inner and outer plates guide the chain onto cogs and chainrings without hesitation, and the bridge shape between rivets maintains lateral stiffness while allowing the flex needed for smooth gear changes.

KMC builds the X10.93 without traditional bushings, relying instead on precise plate tolerances and mushroom riveting to achieve the pin-to-plate interface. This construction method reduces overall chain weight while maintaining the durability needed for everyday riding. The half nickel plating on the outer plates adds corrosion resistance and gives the chain its distinctive silver-over-dark-silver appearance. Stretch-proof heat treatment on the pins and plates helps the chain maintain its pitch over time, which keeps shifting crisp as the miles accumulate.

The 116-link length covers most road and mountain bike builds, though you'll likely remove a few links during installation to match your drivetrain's requirements. An EZ Quick Missing Link comes included for tool-free installation and removal, which makes periodic chain cleaning or swaps between bikes simple. The 5.88mm width clears 10-speed front derailleurs and sits properly in the narrower spacing of modern cassettes, and the 1/2" x 11/128" pitch ensures compatibility with standard 10-speed chainrings....
