Product Details

Overview & technology

SRAM PC-Red22 is the factory-spec 11-speed chain engineered for SRAM Red22 road groupsets. With 114 links and a total weight of approximately 242 g, it delivers the balance of lightness and durability demanded by road racers and performance riders. The chain is manufactured from heat-treated steel with a corrosion-resistant silver plating that reduces surface wear and improves shifting smoothness. The supplied PowerLock quick-connect lets you assemble and service the chain without special tools, while precision rivet tolerances maintain consistent engagement with SRAM's 11-speed cassettes and chainrings.

Key features & real-world benefits

Precision fit and fast, reliable shifts: The PC-Red22's tight manufacturing tolerances and finishing ensure crisp, predictable shifting under load — ideal for race efforts and fast group rides. Riders notice fewer dropped chains and cleaner, snappier gear changes compared with generic chains. • 114 links: Long factory length for fitment on most road bikes and wide-range drivetrains before sizing. • PowerLock connector: Tool-free joining and removal for easy maintenance and quick roadside fixes. • Lightweight construction: 242g helps reduce rotational mass for improved acceleration and responsiveness.

Fit, sizing & compatibility

The PC-Red22 is designed for 11-speed SRAM road drivetrains and carries SRAM Model ID CN-RED-A1. The chain's 114-link length is generous and intended to be shortened to the correct length for your bike by removing links with a chain tool or by using the PowerLock connector. While optimized for SRAM Red22 systems, the PC-Red22 is compatible with most 11-speed road derailleurs and cassettes from major brands. Note: this model is not e‑bike approved, so it should not be used on electric-assist drivetrains that require specific e-bike-rated chains.

Who this chain is for

If you're running a SRAM Red22 groupset or want a direct OEM replacement that matches SRAM's intended shift feel and geometry, the PC-Red22 is built for you. It suits road racers, club riders and enthusiasts who prioritize light weight, dependable shifting and easy maintenance. It's also a good choice for workshop stocking — the 114-link length covers most road frames and the PowerLock makes fitment quick. If you ride an e-bike or a high-mileage commuter requiring e-bike-approved components, choose a chain rated for electric-assist use instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PC-Red22 compatible with Shimano 11-speed drivetrains?

Yes — the PC-Red22 is compatible with most 11-speed road drivetrains and will work with Shimano 11-speed cassettes and derailleurs. It’s optimized for SRAM Red22 for best shift feel, but cross-brand compatibility is common for 11-speed road chains.

Does the chain come with a connecting link?

Yes — this PC-Red22 variant uses SRAM's PowerLock connector. The PowerLock is included and allows tool-free joining and removal, making installation and roadside fixes quick and simple.

How do I size the 114-link chain to my bike?

Measure chain length using the big chainring + big cog method or match to your old chain, then remove excess links with a chain tool. Alternatively, use the PowerLock to join at the correct length after determining the required link count.

What maintenance does this chain need?

Keep the chain clean and lightly lubed with a road-specific chain lube. Wipe down after wet rides and re-lube when the chain starts to sound dry. Regular cleaning and lube extend chain life and protect drivetrain components.

How often should I replace the PC-Red22 chain?

Replace the chain when it reaches chain wear limits (typically 0.5–0.75% elongation for road use) or if shifting performance degrades. Frequent training and poor conditions shorten service life; check with a chain wear tool every 500–1000 miles depending on conditions.

Can I use this chain on an e‑bike?

No — the PC-Red22 is not e‑bike approved. E-bikes subject chains to higher torque and require specific e-bike rated chains for safety and longevity.

Buying Guide

When choosing a road chain, match the chain speed (11-speed) and brand compatibility to your drivetrain. The PC-Red22 is ideal if you run or want to maintain SRAM Red22 parts — it delivers OEM shift characteristics, a long 114-link factory length for flexible sizing, and a lightweight 242 g construction for racing and fast group rides. Decide whether you need an e‑bike approved chain (if you ride an electric-assist bike) and remember to factor in maintenance: a cleaner, well-lubed chain lasts longer and protects expensive cassettes and chainrings. Finally, keep a PowerLock spare in your kit for quick roadside repairs.
