Sram Red22 PC-Red22 11Speed (114L)
HollowPin™ Strength. Silent Speed.
The Sram PC-Red 22 Chain features a heavily chamfered outer plate design that significantly improves shifting performance and reduces drivetrain noise. By utilizing HollowPin™ construction, Sram has removed unnecessary weight from the center of each pin without compromising the tensile strength required for explosive sprints and steep, high-torque climbs.
Why the Red 22 is the Ultimate 11Speed Chain:
-
HollowPin™ Technology: Provides the highest strength-to-weight ratio in the industry. By hollowing out the rivets, Sram reduces the overall mass of the drivetrain, resulting in faster acceleration and less rotational inertia.
-
PowerLock® Non-Reusable Link: Includes the world’s most secure tool-free connecting link. The silver PowerLock® ensures a flush, narrow profile that glides through the derailleur cage with zero hesitation.
-
Hard Chrome™ Treatment: The inner links and rollers are finished with a specialized chrome plating that dramatically increases wear resistance, extending the life of your expensive Red or Force cassette.
-
Quiet-Drive Geometry: The outer plates feature a specialized "flared" profile that allows the chain to engage the cassette teeth more smoothly, eliminating the "crunch" of mid-index shifts.
-
Professional Grade Durability: Designed specifically to handle the extreme chain lines of 2 x 11Speed drivetrains, preventing "chain suck" and ensuring a silent ride in any gear combination.
-
Lightweight Precision: Forged with elite-level tolerances to ensure that your shifting remains identical from the first kilometer to the last.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call the Red 22 the "silencer." If you’ve got 11Speed but find the drivetrain sounds "clunky," this chain is usually the fix. It is noticeably quieter than the lower-tier PC-1130 or PC-1170 models. While it’s designed for Sram Red groupsets, it is a fantastic "secret upgrade" for Shimano Ultegra or Dura-Ace riders who want a lighter, more durable chain with a much easier tool-free connecting link.
