SRAM Chain Pre-Waxed – Latest Technology, Professional Treatment
The SRAM chain pre-waxed combines SRAM’s current Flattop technology with professional wax treatment applied through our proven 5-step process. This 12/13-speed chain features HollowPin construction, hard chrome plated components, and comes treated with your choice of premium wax from Silca, Molten, or Ceramic Speed.
Why Choose a Pre-Waxed SRAM Chain
Waxing chains properly requires specific equipment, time, and technique. Our 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.
SRAM’s Flattop technology creates a narrower chain profile that runs quieter than traditional designs while maintaining strength through HollowPin construction. The hollow pins reduce weight while providing the structural integrity needed for modern high-torque drivetrains. Hard chrome plating on inner link plates and rollers extends component life by reducing wear during normal operation.
Technical Specifications for Real-World Performance
Available in 114-link and 126 lengths to accommodate different frame sizes and gearing setups. The chain works across 12- and 13-speed SRAM drivetrains and carries e-bike approval for higher-torque applications.
The Flattop design enables the narrower chain width while the cutout outer plates reduce weight compared to previous generations. Combined with proper wax treatment, this creates a drivetrain that runs efficiently and stays cleaner than traditionally lubed chains.
Practical Benefits You’ll Notice
A properly waxed SRAM chain operates more quietly than oil-lubed chains, so it doesn’t diminish the already-quiet nature of Flattop technology. The combination reduces drivetrain noise significantly. Wax treatment also means less dirt accumulation, which is especially important for the precision tolerances of modern 12- and 13-speed systems.
Compatibility and Installation
The chain includes SRAM’s PowerLock connector for tool-free installation and removal. This makes chain maintenance straightforward and eliminates the need for chain breaking tools during routine service. The connector works reliably and can be reused multiple times.
The Bottom Line
For riders running SRAM 12- or 13-speed drivetrains who want the benefits of waxed chain operation without the preparation work, this pre-waxed option delivers both convenience and performance. The engineering provides the durability modern drivetrains demand, while professional wax treatment ensures optimal operation from installation.
