Finally completed the required personal testing of the 1st batch prior to roll-out (this ain't a new product btw). On paper - - extremely durable - pin power & plate tensile strength at 1300kgf (visual aid: a 350 lb clyde wont be able to break the pins, more so the plates) - extra stretchproof riveting mushroom technique (proprietary) - anti drop design (proprietary)...take note of the oversized outer plates and slim inner plates. Chain will not drop even after chain has stretched a bit at the end of its useful life; squared outer plates minimizes pull while grinding - anti rub design - quiet operation - weight (if it matters to you) 385 gms - lateral stiffness 27, i.e. a stiffer fixed gear chain has a lower chance of skipping and dropping. To illustrate, Shimano HG / XTR/Durace: 16, Taya:17, Sachs/Sedi PG: 15, etc. 2 profiles available, i.e. for those running HG cogs, and for those running cogs with taller & wider teeth SRP P750.00 for both models

bongjumperthat'd be the superlight (SL) series. almost the same price position (5x the value yata) as the ti-nitride series but the breakload is reduced to 950kgf instead of the cheaper standard SS chains at 1300 breakload. it's for racing. was tempted to get these but the SS psyche is different. most, despite having disposable income, are purists who opt for the feel, zen, and simplicity of the ride (rasta attitude yata yun)...that's just me thinking out loud anthony, where at - Raven, Cycle Ops, Dragunov707, etc.
