YBN SLA110 Chain Pre-Waxed – Race Engineering Meets Professional Treatment
The waxed YBN SLA110 chain combines YBN’s race-proven engineering with our professional wax treatment process, delivering a chain that’s ready for competitive demands. This 116-link chain features the same advanced materials and construction as YBN’s premium 6.4 Ti chain—hollow pins, laser cutouts, and DHA chromium hardening—professionally treated with your choice of premium wax from Silca, Molten, or Ceramic Speed.
Advanced Engineering for Competitive Performance
YBN developed the SLA110 with technologies that matter when racing or pushing limits. DHA chromium hardening extends service life up to 8,000 kilometers, significantly outlasting standard chain treatments. The hollow pin construction reduces weight while maintaining flat-step riveting that delivers pin strength exceeding 350kgf—the durability needed for hard efforts and aggressive shifting under load.
Laser cutouts further reduce weight without compromising structural integrity, while Ni-PTFE surface treatment reduces friction and drivetrain noise. Combined with chamfered plates for precise shifting, this chain handles the demands of racing across road and off-road disciplines.
The thin plate construction and arc guide block design work together to provide the shift accuracy and chain stability that modern 11-speed drivetrains require. At 222 grams for 106 links, the SLA110 balances performance weight with the durability competitive riders need.
Professional Wax Treatment Applied
Waxing chains properly requires time, equipment, and technique that most racers would rather dedicate to training. Our proven 5-step process handles the work:
- Complete degreasing
- Ultrasonic cleaning
- Hot wax immersion
- Breaking-in
- 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. For racers, this means consistent performance and less time on drivetrain maintenance when you should be focusing on training and competition.
Universal Compatibility and Practical Features
The SLA110 works seamlessly across Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed drivetrains, handling both road and off-road applications. Each chain includes a QRS master link that’s reusable up to five times, plus a traditional connecting pin for installation flexibility. The 1/2″ x 11/128″ sizing with 5.5mm pin length ensures precise fit across modern 11-speed systems.
Salt spray testing to 500 hours confirms the durability needed for varied conditions and extended racing seasons. Whether you’re targeting podiums or simply want race-level engineering for your riding, this chain delivers the performance that YBN’s reputation is built on.
Built for Results
For competitive cyclists who want advanced engineering that handles racing demands, this pre-waxed SLA110 chain eliminates both the preparation hassle and the guesswork. It’s ready to install and perform from the first race.
