Pros

This kmc chain is great the last one lasted 3. It's not a cheap chain, but it's transmitting the torque of a mid-mounted motor as well as my legs. Worth the extra money.

Quality


This is a good quality piece of kit.


Easy to install, works well on our trek verve3+.

I know 5 months doesn't seem like a long life for a chain, but with the extreme environment it sees, i think it's reasonable.

Competitiveness


But it does come in 2 finishes from kmc, and this one is less expensive and is the one that rusts / corrodes faster.


My only complaint is this chain is about twice as expensive as the x9 chain sold by kmc.

    I am a fit bicyclist but my son has down syndrome and barely puts out any power

    On very steep hills i will gear down and add up to 750 watts to help us over the top but this amounts to less than 1 of our ride

    I installed the kmc e9 chain in march of this year and 5 months later my wear indicator said it was time to change it
