Description
KMC E1 3/32" Chain
Product Overview
The KMC E1 3/32" chain is a durable single-speed BMX chain engineered for reliable drivetrain performance. The 112-link configuration with full nickel plating, anti-drop design, and advanced durability features delivers long-lasting power transfer across street, park, and trail riding.
Key Features
- Full nickel plating – Complete nickel coating resists corrosion and extends chain lifespan in wet or salty environments; maintains appearance and structural integrity through extended use
- Inner plate chamferring – Beveled inner plate edges reduce friction and improve chain engagement with sprockets and chainrings; increases efficiency without weight penalty
- Anti-drop design – Engineered chain plates prevent accidental chain drops during tricks, maneuvers, or shifting; maintains drivetrain reliability during aggressive riding
- Double X durability – Advanced plate construction increases strength and resistance to wear, bending, and fatigue failure under high-stress riding conditions
- Double X bridge design – Reinforced bridge architecture maintains chain rigidity and reduces flex under pedaling load; improves power transfer efficiency
- Mushroomed riveting – Precision rivet formation creates secure pin-to-plate connection without weak points; resists rivet failure and maintains chain integrity through extended use
- 112-link standard length – Pre-sized configuration fits most BMX single-speed drivetrains without requiring custom shortening or extension
- Narrow 3/32" sizing – Standard BMX chain width compatible with single-speed sprockets and chainrings without adapter requirements
