Bicycle Chains – Bike Chains for Shimano, SRAM, KMC, MTB, Road, Gravel and E-Bikes

Discover a wide selection of bike chains designed for smooth shifting, efficient power transfer and reliable drivetrain performance. This collection includes bicycle chains for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, city bikes and electric bikes, with options for 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13-speed drivetrains.

Whether you need a Shimano bike chain for everyday riding, a SRAM Eagle 12-speed chain for MTB, a KMC chain for road or gravel cycling, or a durable e-bike chain for higher torque, Evelo bike store offers trusted drivetrain components for different bike types, speeds and riding styles.

Bike Chains for Smooth Shifting and Reliable Power Transfer

A bicycle chain is one of the most important drivetrain parts, connecting the crankset, cassette and rear derailleur into one efficient system. A clean, properly matched bike chain helps improve shifting quality, reduce drivetrain wear and maintain smooth pedaling on every ride.

Choosing the correct chain length, speed compatibility and drivetrain system is essential. A 9-speed bike chain, 10-speed bike chain, 11-speed chain and 12-speed chain each have different widths and must match the cassette, crankset and derailleur for safe and efficient riding.

Shimano Chains for Road, MTB and Everyday Cycling

Shimano chains are a popular choice for reliable performance across many drivetrain systems. This collection includes Shimano Deore, SLX, XT, XTR, Ultegra, Tiagra, Steps and Nexus chains for mountain bikes, road bikes, e-bikes and city bikes.

Shimano 10-speed, 11-speed and 12-speed chains are designed for precise shifting, durability and compatibility with modern Shimano cassettes and drivetrains. Options with Quick Link make installation and maintenance easier, especially for riders who service their bikes regularly.

SRAM Chains for Eagle, AXS and Performance Drivetrains

SRAM chains are built for modern high-performance drivetrain systems, including SRAM Eagle, GX, NX, XO, Rival, Force, RED and AXS setups. A SRAM 12-speed chain or SRAM Eagle chain is especially useful for MTB and e-MTB riders who need strength, wide-range drivetrain compatibility and reliable shifting under pressure.

SRAM Flattop chains are designed for road and gravel AXS drivetrains, offering efficient power transfer, smooth running and modern 12/13-speed compatibility.

KMC Chains for MTB, Road, Gravel and E-Bikes

KMC bike chains are known for broad compatibility, long-lasting construction and options for many drivetrain types. This collection includes KMC 8-speed, 9-speed, 10-speed, 11-speed and 12-speed chains, including e-bike chains and high-durability models for demanding use.

KMC chains are suitable for Shimano, SRAM and many other drivetrain systems, making them a practical choice for riders who need reliable replacement chains for road, MTB, gravel, city or electric bikes.

E-Bike Chains for Stronger Drivetrains

Electric bikes place extra load on the drivetrain, especially during acceleration, climbing and high-torque riding. E-bike chains are reinforced to handle this additional stress and provide longer-lasting performance.

A dedicated e-bike chain is a smart choice for electric mountain bikes, city e-bikes and trekking e-bikes, helping reduce premature wear and keeping shifting smooth under higher power output.

Chains by Speed – 6/7/8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13-Speed

This collection includes bike chains for many drivetrain speeds. Older city bikes, kids bikes and entry-level bicycles often use 6, 7 or 8-speed chains, while many MTB and trekking bikes use 9 or 10-speed chains.

Modern road, gravel and mountain bikes commonly use 11-speed or 12-speed chains, while selected performance drivetrains may require 13-speed compatibility. Always match the chain to the number of cassette sprockets and drivetrain standard.

Quick Links, Chain Connectors and Maintenance

Many modern bicycle chains are supplied with quick links or PowerLock connectors, making installation, removal and cleaning easier. Chain connectors are useful spare parts for cyclists who maintain their drivetrain at home or carry emergency repair items on longer rides.

Replacing a worn chain on time helps protect the cassette and chainrings from unnecessary wear. Regular chain maintenance, correct lubrication and periodic chain replacement are essential for smooth shifting and long drivetrain life.

How to Choose the Right Bike Chain

To choose the correct bike chain, start by checking how many speeds your drivetrain has. Then match the chain to your system, such as Shimano, SRAM or KMC compatibility. Riders using e-bikes should consider reinforced e-bike chains, while road cyclists and gravel riders should choose chains that match their exact cassette and derailleur setup.

If your shifting feels rough, the chain skips under pressure or the drivetrain is noisy, it may be time to replace your bicycle chain.
