The YBN 9-Speed Chain is engineered to deliver high reliability, durability, and smooth shifting performance across a wide range of 9-speed drivetrains. Built for riders who demand consistent and efficient power transfer, this chain supports precise gear changes under varied riding conditions — from city commuting to competitive cycling.
🔧 Technical Specifications:
Speed Compatibility: 9-speed systems
Number of Links: Approximately 116 (can be trimmed to fit)
Pin Length: ~6.7 mm (optimized for 9-speed drivetrains)
Material: High-strength steel alloy
Coating: Nickel-plated or anti-rust treatment (depending on variant)
Compatibility: Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo 9-speed systems
Finish: Silver or metallic sheen
⚙️ Key Features & Performance:
1. Precision Machining for Smooth Shifting:
Each link is CNC-machined to exact tolerances ensuring optimal engagement with sprockets and chainrings. This reduces friction and noise while providing crisp and reliable shifting, even during high torque or rapid gear changes.
2. Enhanced Durability:
Constructed from premium-grade steel alloy, the chain resists elongation and wear, which are primary causes of drivetrain inefficiency. This resilience extends the life of both the chain and cassette, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
3. Corrosion Resistance:
The nickel or anti-rust coating protects the chain from moisture, dust, and grime, allowing for longer performance life especially in wet or harsh environments. This makes it suitable for all-season riding.
4. Wide Compatibility:
Designed to fit all major 9-speed drivetrains including Shimano Deore, Tiagra, SRAM Apex, and Campagnolo 9-speed groups. Its standardized dimensions ensure seamless integration with derailleurs, chainrings, and cassettes from these brands.
5. Easy Installation and Maintenance:
With a standard length of 116 links, the chain can be shortened with a chain tool to fit specific bike configurations. Some variants support quick-link or master link installation for tool-free setup and maintenance.
🚲 Ideal Applications:
Mountain Biking: Durable enough to handle off-road conditions and frequent shifting
Road Cycling: Ensures smooth transitions for competitive and recreational riding
Hybrid & Commuter Bikes: Reliable, low-maintenance chain suitable for daily use
Touring & Long-Distance Riding: Corrosion-resistant features protect against varied weather
