Connex 11sx Chain Pre-Waxed – German Engineering Meets Professional Treatment
This waxed Connex chain combines German precision engineering with our proven wax treatment process, delivering a chain that’s ready for the demanding requirements of modern 11-speed drivetrains. The 118-link chain features stainless steel inner links and innovative high-grade nickel coating, professionally treated with your choice of premium wax from Silca, Molten, or Ceramic Speed.
Advanced Materials for Long-Term Reliability
What sets the Connex 11sx apart is its materials engineering approach to durability. The stainless steel inner links provide exceptional corrosion resistance that matters for riders in challenging conditions—coastal environments, winter riding, or anywhere moisture and salt threaten drivetrain longevity. The innovative high-grade nickel coating adds another layer of protection while maintaining the precise tolerances required for smooth 11-speed operation.
At 270 grams for 118 links, this chain balances durability with performance. The 1/2″ x 11/128″ sizing ensures compatibility across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed systems, while the 5.60mm pin length and XHB pin hardening provide the strength needed for consistent shifting under load.
High-Performance Plate Geometry
The Connex 11sx incorporates advanced plate geometry designed specifically for modern 11-speed performance. The precisely engineered chamfering and ramp design ensures smooth, fast shifting across the entire cassette range. Whether you’re climbing steep grades or sprinting for town signs, the chain engages quickly and reliably with chainrings and sprockets.
Professional Wax Treatment Applied
Waxing chains properly requires time, equipment, and technique that most cyclists prefer to avoid. Our 5-step process handles the work: complete degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, hot wax immersion, breaking-in, and professional repackaging. You get all the benefits of waxed chain operation without the weekend project.
A properly waxed chain runs quieter and stays cleaner than oil-lubed alternatives. The combination of Connex’s corrosion-resistant materials with professional wax treatment creates a drivetrain that performs consistently while requiring less frequent maintenance. This matters especially for riders who want reliable performance without constant chain care.
Universal 11-Speed Compatibility
The Connex 11sx works seamlessly across all major 11-speed drivetrain manufacturers. Whether you’re running Shimano 105, Ultegra, or Dura-Ace, SRAM Force or Red, or Campagnolo systems, this chain delivers the precise engagement and smooth operation that modern 11-speed drivetrains require.
Built for Real-World Conditions
The stainless steel and nickel construction makes this chain particularly well-suited for riders facing corrosive conditions. Coastal riders, winter cyclists, and anyone dealing with salt, moisture, or harsh weather benefit from materials engineering that maintains performance when standard chains begin to deteriorate.
German Precision, Professional Preparation
Connex’s German engineering focuses on durability and precision rather than marketing claims. Combined with our professional wax treatment, you get a chain that’s ready to deliver reliable performance from installation. The materials engineering provides the foundation for extended component life, while the wax treatment ensures clean, efficient operation throughout the chain’s service life.
For cyclists who want 11-speed performance with enhanced durability and the convenience of professional wax treatment, this pre-waxed Connex chain eliminates both compatibility concerns and preparation time. It’s engineered to perform and ready to install.
