INFORMATION
Construction
The EVO 12 chain uses a Double X-Bridge design with chamfered inner and outer plates to improve engagement with cassette and chainring teeth. Reinforced "mushroom riveted pins" increase chain strength while allowing for efficient shifting under load.
Performance
The asymmetrical link profile reduces interference and improves the fluidity of the drivetrain's operation. This design contributes to fast, quiet, and precise shifting, even in the most demanding conditions. With an announced weight of approximately 234 g, the chain offers an excellent balance between lightness and durability.
Compatibility
The TRP EVO 12 is designed for 12-speed drivetrains and is compatible with TRP EVO 12 groupsets. Several retailers and distributors also indicate compatibility with certain SRAM and Shimano 12-speed drivetrains. However, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal performance.
