With the chain as the foundation of every Eagle drivetrain, the NX Eagle chain is also developed and manufactured according to the unique Sram Eagle architecture. This makes it fully compatible with all other components of the Eagle Ecosystem. With its construction of solid rivets and the Eagle PowerLock, the NX Eagle chain shifts smoothly, efficiently, and reliably.

PowerLock: SRAM's chain engineers have designed PowerLock as a tool-free, secure, and consistent way to connect chains. Although no special tools are required for the installation of PowerLock, due to the tight tolerance range of a 10-, 11-, and 12-speed drivetrain, each PowerLock is intended for one-time use only.

Flow Link: The ultra-smooth inner plates of the chain are completely free of edges. This reduces friction on the cassette and chainring. The result is quiet performance and a longer lifespan for the components. The chain design allows for a narrower profile, making the chain more torsionally rigid. With smoother outer plates, the riveting is more uniform and the tensile strength is higher.

X-Sync: 2X-SYNC 2 EAGLE is the latest development of Sram's X-SYNC technology. The tooth profile of the chainring increases chain tension and efficiency while pedaling. The lifespan of the chainring is extended as the X-SYNC EAGLE technology reduces friction and contamination.
