Our take
This KMC X8 chain is a fantastic option for riders looking to upgrade or replace their 7 or 8-speed chain. The gold TI-N coating isn't just for looks; it typically enhances durability and reduces friction. Its wide compatibility with Shimano, Campagnolo, and SRAM systems means it's a versatile choice for many bikes, from mountain to road. With 116 links, it should be long enough for most setups, though you might need to shorten it. The inclusion of a connection link and retail packaging makes for a complete product. At $33.99, it offers good value for a performance-oriented chain.
