Experience Unrivalled Cycling Performance

Improve your cycling experience with the UFO Factory Optimized Shimano 11s Chain from CeramicSpeed. This advanced racing chain offers a unique optimisation treatment that creates free speed and unrivalled low friction, a boon for those seeking optimal performance on cycling trails.

Specially crafted for Shimano 11-speed bike models, the high-performance chain delivers watt-saving efficiency, courtesy of its Danish-made optimisation process. Optimum performance is always at your fingertips, or rather, your feet, with a potential performance improvement of 2-5 watts across a distance of up to 650 km - this efficiency tapers off slightly post this mileage.

A word of caution for the dirt trail enthusiasts and wet weather cyclists - the optimisation treatment applied to the chain is not optimised for wet and muddy conditions, which might cause corrosion on the chain.

What's Included in the Box?

• Your very own 116 link Optimized Chain.
• A Shimano 11-speed Quick Link for easy assembly.
• A pair of Disposable Gloves (because who likes getting their hands dirty?).
• A Sticker Sheet because everybody loves a bonus.
• A single-use UFO Drip Sample to keep your chain running smooth.

A Deeper Dive into the Technicalities

If you are wondering what makes this chain a standout addition to your cycle, it's the multi-step optimisation process deployed on high-end chains. This meticulous process is all about polishing and cleaning the chains and then applying two layers of a specialised treatment to craft a highly efficient chain.

CeramicSpeed has devoted rigorous testing plans to identify the most effective wax blend that not only offers low friction but also forms the base of the optimisation process. This sophisticated process aims at ensuring the sliding surfaces of the chain have distinct lubricating layers that work collectively to provide the ultimate chain efficiency.

Smooth Installation Process

Getting your optimised chain up and running is a breeze. Use the disposable gloves provided in the kit, and remember to protect your floor while installing your chain. Always assemble the chain with the provided connecting link and refrain from reusing the connecting pin. Cutting the chain to optimal length and getting it installed will require a chain tool.

Maintenance is Key

To squeeze the highest performance out of your CeramicSpeed UFO Racing Chain during the initial 650 km, avoid washing the chain. Post this mileage, you can carry out necessary maintenance to extend the life of your chain. If the chain gets exposed to a mild shower, application of the UFO Drip Chain Coating is recommended, allowing it to dry before your next ride. In cases of heavy rainfall, a protective grease must be used on the chain to protect it while still offering improved performance.

Remember, the exceptional watt savings is achieved within the first 650km interval, though traces of optimisation are still left on the chain. When using the UFO Drip Chain Coating post the 650 km, please follow the instructions on the bottle.
