SRAM PC-971 Chain - 9-Speed | 114 Links

What makes the SRAM PC-971 a race-quality 9-speed chain?

The SRAM PC-971 is a 9-speed chain built for performance road and mountain drivetrains where shift quality and pin strength actually matter. Side plates are shaped specifically for shift performance, with geometry designed to guide the chain cleanly onto each sprocket under load without hesitation or missed shifts. At 114 links it comes ready to install on most 9-speed builds with a minimal cut, and the construction targets the balance point between light weight and the structural integrity needed to hold up across a full season of riding.

Compatible with all SRAM 9-speed road and mountain drivetrains, the PC-971 indexes correctly with Shimano-compatible 9-speed shifters as well, making it a versatile replacement for any 9-speed setup regardless of brand. Nine-speed drivetrains remain common on performance road bikes, older mountain bikes, and gravel rigs, and a fresh chain is one of the most cost-effective ways to restore shifting accuracy and protect your cassette. Pair it with a SRAM Power Link master link for tool-free installation and swap a worn cassette at the same time for the best results. If you run a 9-speed drivetrain and want a chain that shifts well and lasts, the PC-971 is the right call.
