In the realm of gravel riding, the significance of the chain extends beyond mere propulsion; it must seamlessly facilitate smooth and rapid gear shifts, all while steadfastly maintaining security. The Ekar C13 chain successfully fulfills these demanding criteria, showcasing remarkable strength and durability.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasuring a mere 4.9mm in width, the C13 chain possesses a slight advantage over the highly efficient Campagnolo 12-speed chain, being 0.25mm narrower. Despite this slight reduction in width, the C13 chain mirrors the exceptional performance and durability that Campagnolo chains are widely acclaimed for. Its compatibility with Ekar's 1x13-speed chainrings and cassette sprockets, featuring a wide-narrow teeth design, ensures a positive, efficient, and low-friction drive, thereby enhancing the overall riding experience.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA standout feature\u003c\/strong\u003e of the C13 chain lies in its strength. The C60 steel inner links are treated with a Nickel-Teflon surface coating, offering resistance against the heightened wear they inevitably encounter. These inner links are securely connected to the high tensile strength C67 NiCrMo2 steel outer links, a more robust steel variant with increased carbon content. The outer links are further fortified with a Nickel surface treatment, providing resilience against the greater mechanical stresses they endure.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrafted within Campagnolo’s dedicated facility in Vicenza\u003c\/strong\u003e, the entire C13 chain undergoes a distinctive lubrication process. Utilising an ultrasound bath system, this process ensures that the special lubricant formula permeates deeply and uniformly across every link. The outcome is an efficiently operating chain with heightened resilience, capable of withstanding the rigours of off-road riding. Additionally, the meticulous lubrication contributes to reduced maintenance requirements, underscoring the chain's longevity in challenging riding conditions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Campagnolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41101335330886,"sku":"CN25-EK13ML23","price":81.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3081\/4790\/files\/CampagnoloEkarGTC-LinkChain_e31ae9a8-5d6f-4f3d-8d7c-3ab471f2103f.jpg?v=1708462162","url":"https:\/\/crooze.com.au\/products\/ekar-gt-13s-c-link-chain","provider":"Crooze","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
