It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain rivets improving the overall strength.
Powerlock:
SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, consistent way to connect our chains. While PL does not require special tools for install, the tight tolerances of 10 and 11 speed drivetrains mean the PowerLock is one time only use.
Flowlink
The ultra-smooth chain inner-plates have no square edges, resulting in a chain that engages the cassette and chainring with far less friction, resulting in quieter performance and better durability. A narrower overall profile which can withstand greater angles, and also allows for a flatter outer plate, ensuring more consistent chain riveting which enhances the overall strength.
