What sets the SRAM PC-RED22 Chain apart for road performance?

The SRAM PC-RED22 is an 11-speed road chain built for riders who run Red 22 or Force 22 groupsets and expect everything in their drivetrain to perform at the same level. More heavily chamfered outer plates compared to lower-tier chains produce noticeably smoother, quieter shifting across the cassette and reduce chain slap under load. The result is a drivetrain that feels refined and crisp through every gear change, which matters when you are pushing hard on a climb or bridging a gap in a race. Lightweight construction keeps the chain competitive for racing use without sacrificing the pin strength and plate integrity needed for sustained high-output riding.

The PC-RED22 uses SRAM's PowerLock master link for tool-free installation and clean chain removal during maintenance. It is compatible with SRAM 11-speed road drivetrains including Red 22, Force 22, and Rival 22, and pairs directly with any SRAM 11-speed cassette from the PG-1130 through the XG-1190. Consistent chain tension and plate alignment across the full 11-speed range mean you get reliable indexing whether you are on the big or small ring. If your drivetrain is Red 22 and you are due for a chain, the PC-RED22 is the chain it was designed to run with.

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.
