What is the SRAM Force Flattop E1 chain built for?

The SRAM Force Flattop E1 chain is engineered for SRAM's updated E1 generation road and gravel drivetrain platform, featuring the Flattop chain design for optimized engagement across 12 and 13-speed E1-compatible components. At 126 links, it fits the full range of road and gravel frame sizes. Includes a Flattop PowerLock connecting link and is compatible with SRAM E1 road and gravel drivetrains.

E1 represents SRAM's next step in road drivetrain evolution. The Force Flattop E1 chain is the correct replacement for any Force E1-equipped bike and is the chain that keeps the E1 system performing as designed. Do not mix with previous-generation AXS components without confirming compatibility.
