Sram Red AXS 12/13-Speed ​​Chain - Flattop

SRAM Red AXS 12/13-Speed Chain – Flattop — high power transfer and low friction

SRAM Red AXS 12/13-Speed K Æde – Flattop is a state-of-the-art chain designed for riders who expect absolute performance, high reliability and efficient power transfer with every pedal stroke. This chain is an integral part of SRAM’s AXS ecosystem and is optimized for use with both 12- and 13-speed drivetrains. The Flattop design ensures ultra-smooth shifting, low friction and a lightweight yet extremely robust construction.

Whether you're training for competition, riding time trials, or pushing the pace on long training rides, this chain delivers reliable performance that supports both acceleration and stable cycling.

Flattop technology – groundbreaking shifting capabilities

Precise and fast gear changes

Flattop refers to SRAM's advanced chain design, where the surface and links are optimized to provide extremely smooth and fast gear changes. This means the chain moves efficiently — even under high loads — and responds with minimal lag when you change gears.

The SRAM Red AXS 12/13-Speed Chain – Flattop is designed to work seamlessly with AXS groupsets, giving you a more direct and efficient power transfer. This technology not only improves the shifting experience, but also reduces wear and tear and helps maintain high performance over time.

Compatible with both 12- and 13-speed drivetrains

Flexible and future-proof

One of the big advantages of the SRAM Red AXS Flattop chain is its compatibility with both 12- and 13-speed systems . This makes it extremely flexible, whether you ride standard road, gravel or modern compact gearing setups. This compatibility means you can upgrade or replace without worrying about exact gear configuration — the chain handles the demands of high-end drivetrains with ease.

The AXS platform also ensures that the chain communicates perfectly with the rest of the system, so that both electric shifting and drivetrain efficiency are maintained.

Extremely low friction and efficiency

Top-class materials and finishes

The SRAM Red AXS Flattop chain is manufactured with an advanced surface treatment that significantly reduces friction. This finish minimizes energy loss between the chain and sprockets, meaning more of your power is directly converted into propulsion. The reduced friction improves both acceleration and overall performance — especially on longer rides and demanding climbs.

Low friction also leads to less heat generation and thus less wear, which extends the life of the chain and ensures more stable performance over time.

Lightweight, robust and durable construction

Built for speed and demanding driving

Although the chain is lightweight, it is also extremely robust. The materials and link construction are optimized to withstand repeated loads and high forces without compromising strength. This makes the SRAM Red AXS Flattop chain an obvious choice for both competition use and serious training, where the odometer quickly increases.

The sophisticated design ensures that the chain maintains its precision and function – even during hard accelerations, technical descents and intensive interval training.
