Description
Made for the new Rival 22 groupset, SRAM's PC-1170 is tuned specifically for the new 11-speed drivetrain. SRAM refers to the group as 'True 22,' as that's precisely how many useable and trim-free gears you receive with the new groupset. With the encouragement of cross chaining as part of the trim- and rub-free 'True 22' system by SRAM, the groupset's chain needed to be designed to handle the rigors of every imaginable gearing combination. The result is the PC-1170 Chain, pulling the best technology from its PC-1071 to create an entirely new, 11-speed chain.

The first characteristic to note is that the chain's link pins are hollow -- these hollow, chrome hardened pins save 20 grams or so over a chain with solid pins. In addition to being lighter, they're plenty strong so you can expect the PC-1170 to have equal durability.
Material - Hollow Pin Construction w/ Nickel Outer Plates with Gray Inner Plates.
