Description
This 11 Speed XEL series chain from KMC is durable, light & come’s pre-waxed!
Waxed chains are the latest offering from KMC, and they are ideal for road cyclists who want a long-wearing lubrication that doesn’t pick up road grime.
KMC’s X Series chains are some of the strongest & must durable in their line up, and this is their EL version – Extra Light! KMC achieve this through making both the inner & outer plates in the chain hollow. So you get all the benefits of a reliable & hard-wearing chain, with a little less weight to ride around with. We love that.

Waxed chains from KMC

Good for your ride, great for the planet
We’re pioneering the shift with our line of premium chains and setting the stage for a future where our entire chain range is free from mineral oil-based lubricants. With the production of approximately 5 million chains per year in the X- and e-Series alone, we will soon save estimated 20,000 kilograms of mineral oil-based lubricants per year.
This change marks just the beginning. Consider the vast amounts of oil traditionally used in chain maintenance and its impact on our environment. Our wax-based solution not only enhances drivetrain performance but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint of our products, preventing harmful chemicals from leaching into our ecosystems.
Chain Installation advice:
KMC Chains are supplied with their ‘Missing Link’ quick links / chain connecting links.
We recommend a chain tool for removing or installing a new chain, as you may need to remove some links to suit your drivetrain.
You’ll find chain tool options here.
