SRAM GX T-Type Chain Pre-waxed – Eagle Transmission Engineering Meets Professional Treatment
This pre-waxed GX T-Type chain combines SRAM’s specialized Eagle Transmission engineering with our proven wax treatment process, delivering a chain that’s ready for the demanding requirements of T-Type drivetrains. This 126-link chain features SRAM’s unique Flattop design comes professionally treated with your choice of premium wax from Silca, Molten, or Ceramic Speed.
Why T-Type Chains Are Different
Eagle Transmission represents SRAM’s first fully integrated and interdependent drivetrain system, requiring chains engineered specifically for this technology. The T-Type chain isn’t simply a modified version of existing designs—it’s built from the ground up to work seamlessly with Eagle Transmission’s precise shifting requirements and wider gear range capabilities.
The Flattop design makes this the strongest 12-speed chain SRAM has produced. By adding material on the flat side of the chain plates, every link gains strength while maintaining the narrow profile needed for T-Type’s gear progression. This engineering enables smaller differences in tooth count between neighboring gears while maintaining durability and shifting precision.
Advanced Materials and Finishes
Inner links feature chrome hardening, while the pins receive hard chrome surface treatment for extended component life.
These aren’t cosmetic upgrades—they’re engineered treatments that maintain shifting precision over extended mileage. The larger diameter rollers deliver efficiency comparable to 11-speed drivetrains despite the narrower 12-speed profile required for T-Type’s expanded gear range.
Professional Wax Treatment for T-Type Performance
Waxing chains properly requires specific equipment, time, and technique. Our 5-step process ensures consistent results: complete degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, hot wax immersion at manufacturer-recommended temperatures, proper breaking-in, and professional repackaging. You get the performance benefits without the weekend project.
A properly waxed T-Type chain operates more quietly than oil-lubed alternatives while maintaining the precise shifting that Eagle Transmission demands. The clean operation also reduces contamination buildup that can compromise T-Type’s tight tolerances.
Built for Demanding Applications
This Pre-waxed T-Type Chain carries full E-MTB approval through solid pin construction, handling the higher torque demands of motor-assisted riding. The 285-gram construction (based on 126 links) balances durability with performance across varied riding conditions.
The included PowerLock 12s T-Type connector provides tool-free installation and removal, making chain maintenance straightforward while maintaining the system’s integrated appearance.
Ready for Eagle Transmission Systems
For riders running SRAM Eagle Transmission drivetrains who want the benefits of waxed chain operation without the preparation work, this pre-waxed option delivers both convenience and the specialized engineering that T-Type systems require. The chain is ready to install and perform from the first ride, maintaining the precision and reliability that Eagle Transmission technology provides.
