   The chain pictured is not what is being sold. I ordered this chain to to replace the original on my XX1 setup (same as pictured), but the one I received has solid plates instead of the slotted, lighter weight outer plates in the picture.

   Edit: The seller has updated the photo to be accurate. Also, as the seller’s response indicates, SRAM has not updated this chain to have solid plates. After going through 4 “XX1” model chains, the first two were slotted and the most recent two are not. As always, SRAM makes a great chain and the 11 speed cross chain capability and power link system is superb. I run this chain on my XX1 mountain bike, 1×10 cross bike, and my Single Speed mountain bike with great results.

   This chain is far superior than most on the market. I ride my mountain bike hard and put a lot of stress on my drivetrain. Lots of start and stop type riding through technical areas. I also weigh 225lbs so I’m no flyweight. I only started using this chain because I got a XX1 system in 2012. I figured I would change to a cheaper 11 speed chain once my original XX1 chain wore out, but this chain lasted so long that it justified the price. The most I’ve ever gotten from a 10 speed chain was 50 hours of use. I’m now on my 5th XX1 chain and each of them lasted 82+ hours of use before wearing out. My longest running XX1 chain went 87 hours. For someone like me, that is a long time. In addition, I’ve continually had consistent results which shows SRAM is doing well with their quality control on these chains. I see now that this chain has dropped in price to $42. That’s a steal. For hours of riding per dollar spent on a chain, this has been the best one for me by far.
