✅ Versatile Compatibility: Works reliably across different component ecosystems, giving you the freedom to mix or match your drivetrain parts.
✅ Smooth Shifting Performance: Advanced chamfering and plate shaping ensure quiet operation and crisp gear changes on the trails or tarmac.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Finish Wear Over Time: The striking oil slick electroplating will naturally show wear and friction marks on the contact points after extensive kilometres.
❌ Not Ultra-Lightweight: As a solid-plate design focused on durability, it carries slightly more weight than premium full-hollow race chains.
❌ 12-Speed Specific: Built strictly for 12-speed drivetrains; it is entirely incompatible with 10-speed, 11-speed, or newer 13-speed groupsets.
BFC PRO TIP
To keep that beautiful oil slick finish looking vibrant for longer, avoid using harsh chemical degreasers or acid-based cleaners, which can strip away the electroplated coating. Stick to a high-quality, bike-specific drivetrain cleaner, dry the chain completely after washing, and apply a premium ceramic or wax lubricant to keep it running silently and looking pristine!
