The SRAM Rival E1 Flattop Chain blends strength, efficiency, and reduced weight for high-performance road and gravel riding. Engineered with Flattop technology, it features a narrower profile for improved drivetrain efficiency, quieter operation, and increased durability. Compatible with 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR AXS dropbar groupsets, this chain is optimized for smooth, reliable shifting across varied terrain. Cutouts on the outer plates help reduce weight without sacrificing strength, making it ideal for long-distance efforts and performance-driven rides.

Built with hard chrome-plated inner links and nickel-coated outer links, the Rival E1 chain offers exceptional wear resistance and long-lasting performance. The chrome-hardened solid pins further enhance durability under high loads, and the included Flattop PowerLock connector ensures secure, tool-free installation. Available in 114- and 126-link lengths, this chain is also e-bike approved, offering the toughness needed for higher torque output. It’s a reliable, lightweight option for riders looking to balance performance and value.
