What makes the SRAM RED Flattop E1 chain the top road chain?

The SRAM RED Flattop E1 chain is the flagship road chain in SRAM's E1 generation lineup, built with the Flattop chain design and hollow pin construction for the lowest possible weight at the top tier of SRAM's road platform. At 126 links with a Flattop PowerLock connecting link, it's engineered for SRAM RED E1 road and gravel drivetrains running 12 or 13-speed.

RED E1 is for riders who demand the best from their road drivetrain. The hollow pin construction saves grams where it matters, and the Flattop design ensures precise, consistent shifting through the full range of the E1 system. If you're running RED E1 and want the chain that was built to complete it, this is it.
