A strong choice for anyone replacing a 6-, 7- or 8-speed chain on a road, MTB, gravel, cyclocross, touring or city bike.
The KMC X8.93 is a 1/2 x 3/32-inch chain for 6-, 7- and 8-speed drivetrains. It is compatible with Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo systems, making it a versatile choice for older road bikes, commuter bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes and cyclocross setups. With 116 links, there is useful length for most standard installations, although you should always size the chain against your existing drivetrain before fitting.
KMC uses a Double X-Bridge design with carefully chamfered inner and outer plates. These shaped plates help the chain engage the cassette and chainrings cleanly, supporting smooth, fast and accurate shifting across the range. The high-pin-power riveting is designed to improve strength and allow confident shifting under heavy loads, which is useful for loaded riding, steep climbs and everyday stop-start use.
The chain has a half-nickel-plated silver/dark silver finish for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Mushroom-riveted pins and Stretch Proof heat treatment add durability, while the included reusable KMC Missing Link I connector simplifies installation and future servicing. Choose the X8.93 when you want a well-specced replacement chain without being locked to one major drivetrain brand.
