The SRAM Force Flattop chain is designed for SRAM 12-speed and 13-speed road and gravel drivetrain systems and uses SRAM’s Flattop chain architecture to increase strength, durability, and drivetrain efficiency. The flat outer plate profile allows for a narrower chain with higher tensile strength, contributing to quieter operation and consistent shifting under load.
Flattop construction also improves wear characteristics and chain longevity compared to traditional chain designs. Positioned at the Force level, this chain is intended for high-performance riding, including racing and endurance use, where reliability and drivetrain efficiency are critical. With a length of 126 links, it supports a wide range of drivetrain configurations, including larger cassette combinations.
Finished in purple, the chain is supplied with a SRAM PowerLock connector for secure, tool-free installation. The E1 specification ensures compatibility with current SRAM road and gravel drivetrain standards. Claimed weight is approximately 260 g for a 114-link chain; the 126-link version weighs slightly more due to the additional links.
