What drivetrains does the SRAM PC-850 Chain fit?

The SRAM PC-850 is a multi-speed chain compatible with 6, 7, and 8-speed drivetrains, making it one of the most versatile chain options in the lineup. PowerChain II plate geometry improves front derailleur shift performance and load shifting without sacrificing rear shift precision, so you get cleaner gear changes across the full range whether you are on a 6-speed commuter or an 8-speed mountain bike. The Step2 riveting process increases push pin strength for optimal durability under the sustained load of daily riding. At 114 links it ships ready to install on most builds with a minimal cut needed.

Compatible with SRAM and Shimano-compatible 6, 7, and 8-speed drivetrains, the PC-850 pairs directly with a SRAM 8-speed Power Link master link for tool-free installation and removal. Its wide compatibility makes it a practical stock item for shops and mechanics who work on a variety of bikes — one chain covers the most common entry-level and mid-range drivetrain configurations in a single SKU. Replace it when your chain wear indicator shows 0.5% stretch, and swap the cassette at the same time if it is due. If you need a dependable multi-speed chain that covers a wide range of bikes without overcomplicating the parts order, the PC-850 delivers.
