KMC DLC 10 Speed Bicycle Chains

The KMC DLC 10 chain is designed for MTB, road, gravel, and cyclocross drivetrains, featuring a titanium-carbon-nitride Diamond Like Coating (DLC) that creates an extremely hard surface to reduce friction, improve shifting performance, and extend drivetrain service life.

Best for

• MTB, road, gravel, and cyclocross bicycles
• Riders looking for reduced drivetrain friction and smooth chain operation
• Performance-focused drivetrains where shifting efficiency and durability are priorities
• Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo drivetrain systems

Not ideal for

• Drivetrains requiring a different chain size or speed specification
• Applications outside compatible bicycle drivetrain systems

What this product does

The chain transfers pedaling power from the crankset to the cassette while supporting smooth and consistent shifting. Its DLC treatment provides an extremely hard surface that helps reduce friction and wear, while the hollow pins and plates help optimize the chain's weight.
