Description
The ultimate combination of lightweight indexing and weatherproofing. The IZUMI CIC800N PLP-NP is a premium 5, 6, 7, and 8-speed derailleur chain featuring a full Nickel-Plated (NP) finish and advanced PLP surface treatment. Built with Izumi's signature bushless architecture, this striking silver chain offers unparalleled rust resistance, lightning-fast gear changes, and a beautiful mirror-like finish that elevates any classic road bike, commuter, or touring build.
KEY FEATURES
- Full Nickel-Plated (NP) Protection: Both the inner and outer plates are heavily nickel-plated, providing elite defense against rain, humidity, mud, and winter road salt. Your chain stays rust-free and brilliantly silver.
- PLP Ultra-Low Friction Coating: The specialized Plate Process ensures a micro-smooth surface texture. This allows the chain to slide effortlessly across cassette cogs and chainrings, significantly reducing drivetrain noise and mechanical drag.
- High-Performance Bushless Design: By integrating the bushing directly into the inner plate, the CIC800N PLP-NP sheds unnecessary weight (~328g) and flexes perfectly during indexed shifts for crisp, instantaneous gear changes.
- Flush-Pin Engineering: Ultra-smooth, flush-connecting pins prevent any ghost-shifting or catching on adjacent cogs, giving you a flawless, reliable pedal stroke under heavy loads.
