R2BIKE pre-waxed CONNEX Chain 12SB incl. Chain Lock | 12-speed | 126 links | black
Connex knows what is important when it comes to chains. With over 130 years of experience in the manufacture of chains, they combine German engineering expertise with quality-conscious industrial manufacturing - always in search of the perfect chain. Because only those who are never satisfied set new standards.
All chains are formed with high precision on state-of-the-art equipment and manufactured from the best steel. Before series production of new models begins, they have to withstand the highest loads on test benches and are checked for bolts and rivets by experienced cycling professionals during extensive test rides in everyday and racing use.
Speed Wing
Thanks to Speed Wing, the optimized geometry of the outer plates, extremely fast and almost noiseless gear changes are possible on all shifting systems. In addition, the special design significantly reduces the effort required to shift gears. This results in exceptionally smooth running and minimizes wear on the drivetrain in the long term.
Diamond Shape
Similar to a diamond, the plates are ground on the outer sides, allowing the chain to be guided precisely and accurately through the sprockets. These circumferential embossings on the outer contour guarantee more efficient power distribution, especially under heavy loads, which qualifies the chains for many areas of application - from the daily commute to work to racing.
Power Pin
Connex has developed a completely new process for radial riveting of the pins in order to optimally absorb the high lateral forces caused by extreme transmission ratios. In combination with a special coating, the Power Pins guarantee maximum load-bearing capacity, even with narrow designs.
Connex Link
With Connex Link, every Connex chain can be opened and closed with ease - without any tools. The legendary locking mechanism exemplifies the innovative strength of Connex and combines simple handling with unshakeable reliability. Made from high-strength stainless steel with a hardened steel alloy, it can be used again and again - unlike many other chain locks. And again. And again. And again...
WAXED with REX
Have the advantages of a waxed chain convinced you, but you're afraid of the time-consuming process? We'll do the work for you! All chains are professionally cleaned before treatment and then professionally bathed in hot wax. Only REX Black Diamond Hot Wax is used for this.
The Finns at REX have already broken all records in chain life tests with the synthetic, wax-based Black Diamond chain lubricant. But resting on their laurels was out of the question for the wax specialists from the world of ski racing. Even if you might think that ski waxes and chain oils have little in common, they both pursue the same goal: to minimize frictional resistance and prevent dirt and impurities from sticking. With the new Black Diamond Hot Wax, REX combines 70 years of experience in the production of kerosene ski waxes with the outstanding additives of the liquid Black Diamond chain lubricant.
Note: The color impression of the chain is initially somewhat clouded by the treatment. After a few kilometers in the saddle, the dark discoloration is no longer visible and the chain shines again in all its glory. To clean the chain, we recommend using a dry microfiber cloth and, if necessary, warm water without any additives.
To maximize the service life of the chain, we recommend relubricating the chain with a wax-based liquid lubricant after a mileage of 600 kilometers. You can find selected Rex products here.
