Sram Red Flattop 12/13 speed Chain

The SRAM Red Flattop chain is a top-tier drivetrain component designed for SRAM 12-speed and 13-speed road and gravel systems. It uses SRAM’s Flattop chain architecture, which features a flat outer plate profile to increase chain strength while allowing a narrower overall width. This design contributes to quieter operation, improved drivetrain efficiency, and enhanced durability under high load.

At the Red level, the chain is optimized for maximum performance with reduced weight and improved wear characteristics compared to lower-tier Flattop chains. It is intended for racing and high-intensity riding where precise shifting and minimal drivetrain losses are priorities. The Flattop construction also supports longer service life while maintaining consistent performance over time.

The chain is supplied with a SRAM PowerLock connector for secure, tool-free installation. Claimed weight is approximately 255 g for a 114-link chain; weight will increase slightly for longer link counts depending on drivetrain configuration.
