FAQ

Is the PC-RED22 compatible with Shimano 11-speed drivetrains?

The PC-RED22 is an 11-speed chain with standard dimensions. It is generally compatible with 11-speed Shimano drivetrains, though SRAM recommends pairing it with SRAM 11-speed components for optimal shift performance and wear life.

What is the difference between the PC-RED22 and a PC-1170?

The PC-RED22 features more aggressively chamfered outer plates for quieter, more refined shifting and is engineered specifically for the Red 22 groupset. The PC-1170 is a solid performing chain suited for Force, Rival, and other 11-speed SRAM drivetrains at a lower price point.

How often should I replace the chain?

Replace when a chain wear indicator shows 0.5% stretch. At that point, continued riding will accelerate cassette and chainring wear. Consistent chain replacement protects the rest of your drivetrain and saves money in the long run.

Best For

Road racers and serious training riders running SRAM Red 22 or Force 22 groupsets who want a chain that matches the refinement and performance level of the rest of their drivetrain.
