Derailleur Chains for E-Bikes
From trekking bikes to road bikes: derailleur gear systems are the tried-and-tested solution when it comes to sporty cycling. However, with the development of 10-, 12- and 13-speed systems, the demands placed on the components are also increasing – particularly on e-bikes, where significantly higher drive forces are at work.
We have developed the e-PIN to cope with these stresses. The cold-forged rivet features an enlarged surface area and a particularly hard and smooth finish. This increases the chain’s load-bearing capacity and provides additional safety margins – for reliable performance, even when the going gets tough.

ADVICE
Derailleur gears are expected to withstand external weather conditions and hard continuous stress and transmit the rider‘s shifting impulses smoothly and quietly. Today, high-quality materials and coatings as well as constructive fine-tuning (e.g. x-Bridge) of the chain links enable a long service life with regular chain maintenance. However, the chain should be checked regularly and the chain longation checked with a chain gauge. The wear of the chain is highly dependent on the type of application and the shifting behaviour of the driver. Worn chains also accelerate the wear of the other – usually much more expensive – drive components.
Chains for derailleur systems are subject to special requirements due to the design of these systems. To prevent increased wear and to maintain good shifting performance, the chain should be cleaned and maintained regularly.
