SRAM Rival Flattop Chain - 12/13-Speed, 126 Links, PowerLock Connector, Silver, E1

The SRAM Rival Flattop Chain (E1) is a high-performance bicycle chain designed specifically for SRAM 12-speed and 13-speed road and gravel drivetrains. It utilizes SRAM’s Flattop chain architecture, featuring a flat outer plate profile that increases strength, improves durability, and contributes to quieter drivetrain operation.

The Flattop design allows the chain to be narrower while maintaining higher tensile strength than traditional chain designs. This results in improved longevity and consistent shifting performance under load. The Rival-level chain is engineered to balance durability and performance for training, racing, and endurance riding. With a length of 126 links, it supports a wide range of drivetrain configurations, including larger cassette setups.

Finished in silver, the chain is supplied with a SRAM PowerLock connector for secure, tool-free installation. The E1 specification ensures compatibility with the latest SRAM road and gravel drivetrain standards. Claimed weight is approximately 270 g for a 114-link chain; weight will increase slightly with longer link counts such as the 126-link version.
