The PC-1130 sits in SRAM's 11-speed chain lineup as the Rival-level option, and it's the chain most people end up buying when they need a replacement for a Rival, Force, or Red 22 drivetrain and don't want to pay for the hollow-pin weight savings of the PC-1170 or PC-1190. It balances performance and affordability with chrome-hardened pins and nickel-silver outer plates for longevity that stands up to the grime and grit of the road. If you're running an 11-speed SRAM road groupset and it's time to swap the chain before it starts chewing up your cassette, this is the direct replacement.

SRAM builds the PC-1130 with solid, chrome-hardened pins for increased durability , which is the main construction difference between this chain and the higher-tier 11-speed options that use hollow pins to shed grams. The trade-off is straightforward: you carry a few extra grams and pay less. For most riders logging training miles and swapping chains once or twice a season, that's the correct math. The nickel plating on the outer plates handles the day-to-day exposure to road spray, sweat, and whatever else the pavement throws at the drivetrain.

Compatibility covers the full 11-speed SRAM road lineup — Rival 22, Force 22, Red 22, plus the 1x variants like Rival 1 and Force 1. Recommended groups are SRAM Rival 1 and Rival 22, with compatibility extending to SRAM RED 22 and Force 22. It also works with 11-speed Shimano and Campagnolo drivetrains if you're mixing brands, though shift feel is optimized around SRAM's tooth profiles.... Read More
