KMC X8 8-Speed X-Series High-Performance Bicycle Chain, Nickel Plate/Grey | Compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 8-speed systems for MTB, road, gravel, and cyclocross riding

Great chain, love the X design, and it Shifts quick and quiet. One note for the seller, the ad says the included quick link is re-usable, but the note that came in the box says NOT re-usable, so which is it?

KMC chains are always good quality and almost indestructible if you keep them lubed.

Really really REALLY pleased with this chain. I am a casual, but daily rider of older 3 series Treks (with the attendant low-mid level SRAM and Shimano gear sets), and I did not expect a chain to make this much of a difference. I was servicing and adjusting the derailleurs on both bikes and while the shifts were spot on technically, they still felt "crunchy". I did a bit of reading, and that led me to order one of these. OK, chain lives matter. World of difference. Quieter, smoother, more authoritative shifts. Immediately ordered another one for bike #2. Five minute install, quick links, pre-lubricated. So quiet!

good chain...........need to know how to link chain

I restore bikes often so I buy a lot of chains for them. I have been using KMC chains for many years as I have always had very good look with them. While restoring a bike not to long ago I needed a 7 speed chain so I bought this one from KMC.First of all installing this chain was very easy with the included KMC quick link. You will still need a chain tool in order to cut the chain too length. I would recommend one of the options from Park Tool. Once you have the chain cut to length all you need to do is connect the quick link and give it a good crank to set it into place. The installation on this chain is a lot easier than it is on some other options like from shimano that use different connecting links.I have only had this chain installed on the bike I am currently working on for about a month however I have used this same chain on many other bikes and every single one has stood up great. I have had many other chains, especially on my mountain bike, snap which results in an unpleasant walk home. KMC chains not only have never snapped on me but they also stand up to wear very well. I have heavily used some of their chains for up to a year before having to replace it.For the price of this chain you really cannot get anything better. It will stand up to anything that you can throw at it and more.

Very nice product…

I have been using KMC chains for many years. Never had an issue and I love the quick-link.

Smoooooooth operator. (can hear sade in background)Weight was the same as the old kmc I replaced it with, durability of last chains was 5 years of ROUGH riding. They look great but the neon green bike frame steals the show, material feels premium and build quality is solidIt's a KMC, par for the course

La cadena quedó bien. Los cambios van excelente (la cadena vieja ya no hacia bien los cambios). Se siente de buena calidad y súper fácil de instalar con el quick link. Volveré a comprar para mi otra bicicleta.

The perfect replacement chain on my mountain bike. Extremely easy to install by yourself and my ride now feels as new.

Easy to place

First impressions: The chain looks and feels well built. I removed the factory grease, installed it on 1995 Kona Hahanna MTB, put fresh Squirt -dry- oil on it and the chain is performing very well. Very silent ride and very smooth shifting, so far A+. Only used for a week =/- 13kms a day, will update review later for durability.

Well fixed with my 7 speed cycle easy to access! Thank you
