A strong fit for road cyclists running a SRAM 11-speed drivetrain who want reliable shifting, low weight and straightforward chain replacement.
Choose the SRAM RED 22 Chain when you want precise 11-speed shifting, quiet drivetrain operation and a chain built for regular road use. It is designed for SRAM Road 11-speed drivetrains and is compatible with SRAM RED eTap electronic shifting systems.
The HollowPin design helps reduce weight compared with solid-pin construction while maintaining plate-retention strength. Heavily chamfered outer plates support smoother front and rear shifting, and the chrome-hardened pins plus revised inner-plate finish are designed to extend chain life.
Installation is simple with the supplied silver PowerLock connector, which is made for tool-free connection. PowerLock connectors are single-use, so fit a new one whenever you install this chain. If you are using a mixed-brand drivetrain or aftermarket chainrings, check chainring compatibility before fitting; 11-speed chains can vary slightly in width between brands.

HollowPin
The hollow-pin construction helps deliver high plate-retention strength, efficient front and rear shifting, and lower weight than solid-pin chain construction.
PowerLock
The connector provides a consistent, tool-free way to join the chain. Tight tolerances on 11-speed drivetrains mean each PowerLock is for one-time use only.
PowerLube
The chain is supplied with high-performance grease to support smooth, efficient operation.
11 Speed Powerchain
This chain platform is designed for precise, efficient performance across SRAM 11-speed road drivetrains.
