Sram Force22 PC-1170 11Speed

Force-Level Precision. Hard Chrome™ Longevity.

The Sram PC-1170 Chain is engineered to provide a whisper-quiet ride and lightning-fast gear changes. Featuring heavily chamfered outer plates and a specialized nickel-finish, it is designed to manage the extreme chain angles of modern 2x11 and 1x11 drivetrains without "grinding" or hesitation, ensuring every watt of your power is delivered to the rear wheel.

Why the PC-1170 is the "Rider's Choice" for 11Speed:

• Hard Chrome™ Technology: The inner links and rollers undergo a specialized chrome hardening process that significantly reduces "chain stretch" and pin wear, keeping your shifting crisp for thousands of extra kilometers.

• HollowPin™ Precision (Outer): While the pins are solid for increased sheer strength, the plate geometry is identical to the Red series, providing the same high-speed shifting performance at a more accessible price point.

• PowerLock® Connecting Link: Includes the secure, tool-free PowerLock® link. This narrow-profile connector ensures a flush fit that glides through your derailleur cage without noise or skipping.

• Nickel-Plated Finish: Both the inner and outer plates feature a high-quality nickel plating that resists corrosion and road salt, keeping your drivetrain looking "pro" and running smooth in all weather.

• Quiet-Drive Geometry: Specifically mapped plate chamfering reduces friction during cross-chaining, providing a silent, "velvet" feel at the pedals even in the largest cogs.

• Elite Versatility: Fully compatible with all Sram Road, Sram MTB, and Shimano 11Speed systems, making it the perfect upgrade for an Ultegra or Force-equipped bike.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call the PC-1170 the "training partner." If you love the shifting speed of Sram Red but don't want to pay the "weight tax" for hollow pins every time you replace your chain, this is the one to get. It is arguably the most durable 11Speed chain Sram makes. It’s significantly quieter and more resilient than the entry-level PC-1110 or 1130, and it handles the grit of a gravel race better than almost anything else in the catalog.
