Chain KMC e12 EPT 130L

e12 EPT

The e-Series was developed with extra safety reserves for e-bikes, but is also a good choice for classic bikes. High-performance 12-speed chain with long lasting EPT corrosion protection.

• Compatible with all 12-speed derailleur systems (except SRAM Eagle Transmission T-Type, 12-speed road/gravel)

• EPT, maximum anti rust protection

• Includes a MissingLink

• Especially designed for e-bikes with mid-motors

• Perfect shifting thanks to Double X-Bridge

Specification:

Size: 1/2" X 11/128""
Colour: Dark Silver
Pin Length: 5.2 mm
Weight per 110 links: 239 g
Length: 130 Links

EPT Rust protection redefined
EcoProTeQ technology EPT from KMC protects chains against corrosion for twice as long as conventional rust protection and thus sets new standards. Each component of every chain link is treated separately with EPT. This means a 100 % coating that off ers the lowest possible attack by water, salt and air humidity.
 

Advice

Derailleur gears are expected to withstand external weather conditions and hard continuous stress and transmit the rider‘s shifting impulses smoothly and quietly. Today, high-quality materials and coatings as well as constructive fine-tuning (e.g. x-Bridge) of the chain links enable a long service life with regular chain maintenance. However, the chain should be checked regularly and the chain longation checked with a chain gauge. The wear of the chain is highly dependent on the type of application and the shifting behaviour of the driver. Worn chains also accelerate the wear of the other – usually much more expensive – drive components.

Chains for derailleur systems are subject to special requirements due to the design of these systems. To prevent increased wear and to maintain good shifting performance, the chain should be cleaned and maintained regularly.
