Less weight over solid pins, easy to install. Reasonably priced. Review: Easier to install than Shimano - This KMC chain is awesome. I have all Shimano Ultegra components on both my road bikes, but will probably never again go back to the Shimano chains (Ultegra or Dura-Ace). The main reason is not the performance, rather the installation. The installation of this KMC chain was a breeze. I definitley prefer the KMC quick link system over the replacement Pin system Shimano uses. I I have installed several Shimano chains and there just seems to be more room for error becuase the replacement Pin has to be pressed into just the right position or you at risk of the chain breaking apart on a ride. That's what happened to me and caused me to make the switch to KMC. Yes, it was probably my fault when I installed it, but I'm happy I made the switch. The chain, with it's quick link system, was easy to install and feels alot more secure than the shimano chain/Pin did. Performace wise, I would definitely recommend this chain as well. It is compatible with my 10 speed Shimano groupset and performs/Shifts just as well, if not better, than my previous Shimano chains. I have only been a few rides so far, but my drive train feels very smooth. This new chain does come pre coated with a thicker grease/lube like most other new chains out of the package. After doing some research, some people say to clean it all off and apply your own lube, while others say to leave it on for a few rides and clean it off, apply new lube when neccessary. I decided to leave the pre coated grease on and it ran fine and shifted very smooth. After a few rides, I'm just getting to the point where I'll have to clean off the chain and apply my own lube (Tri Flow). Bottomline: Heck of alot easier to install than Shimano chains and performs just as well, if not better. ## Features - ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN: Weighing approximately 253 grams for 116 links, the KMC X10SL chain features hollow pins and slotted inner and outer plates, reducing weight without compromising strength—ideal for riders seeking performance gains. - ENHANCED SHIFTING PERFORMANCE: The Double X-Bridge design and chamfered inner and outer plates facilitate smooth and precise gear transitions, ensuring reliable shifting under various riding conditions. - WIDE COMPATIBILITY: Engineered for seamless integration with all 10-speed drivetrains from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo, the X10SL offers versatility across different bike setups. - DURABLE COATINGS: Available in finishes like Titanium Nitride (Ti-N) and Diamond Like Coating (DLC), these chains offer enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced friction, contributing to longevity and reduced maintenance. - EASY INSTALLATION: Each chain includes a reusable Missing Link connector, simplifying installation and maintenance without the need for special tools. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005DU20IW | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,599 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #102 in Bike Chains | | Brand | KMC | | Brand Name | KMC | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 741 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00766759710163 | | Included Components | Missing Link Pair | | Item Highlight | Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 10-speed chains for MTB, road, gravel, and cyclocross riding | | Item Length | 57 inches | | Item Type Name | X10SL GOLD-116L | | Item Weight | 8.48 ounces | | Manufacturer | Cycle Force Group | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model | KMC008 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | KMC008 | | Recommended Uses For Product | 10 speed Campagnolo, Shimano, Sram | | Strand Type | Double | | UPC | 766759710163 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KMC - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Strand Type:** Double - **Recommended Uses For Product:** 10 speed Campagnolo, Shimano, Sram - **UPC:** 766759710163 ## Images ![KMC X10SL 10-Speed X-Series High-Performance Bicycle Chain, Gold - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61E6z3bYBFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Number Of Items** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great chain. *by K***L on June 18, 2026* This chain looks and shifts great. Less weight over solid pins, easy to install. Reasonably priced. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easier to install than Shimano *by A***M on April 9, 2014* This KMC chain is awesome.

The 10X.SL (super light) versions weigh 253grams and have slotted links, which supposedly aid “mud dispersion”. The 10X.L (light) versions weigh 268grams and only the outer plates are slotted. The 10X standard versions have solid link plates, weigh 273grams and come in a variety of “eco-friendly” finishes. The 10X.99 is 100% nickel plated and has been discontinued by KMC: most likely to meet new carbon footprint targets for the entire product line. I’ve installed 10 speed chains by SRAM, Shimano and KMC on a number of my friends’ bikes and I have no real “favorite”. Chains from all three manufacturers shift very well and have proven durable and reliable – but my opinion is probably in the minority. The chain I received came in non-retail packaging (which was fine) and included the KMC version of a master link. 100% nickel plating seems to be fairly rust resistant. Shifting is fast and smooth on the last two 105 equipped bikes on which I’ve installed this chain. For the price – less than Shimano’s (CN-4601) or SRAM’s (PC-1051) lowest price chain - it’s tough to beat this mid-range chain for general riding. I just don't know how long this chain will be available from KMC ## Frequently Bought Together - KMC X10SL 10 Speed 116 Links Chain (Gold) - SILCA Secret Chain Hot Melt Wax Chain Lubricant for Bicycles with Nano-Scale Tungsten Disulfide, 500 Grams - KMC X11SL 11 Speed Chain --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/5691538-kmc-x10sl-10-speed-x-series-high-performance-bicycle-chain](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/5691538-kmc-x10sl-10-speed-x-series-high-performance-bicycle-chain) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
