Compatibility: SRAM Flattop

Do you ride SRAM and are looking for a real alternative to the Flattop chain?

The Connex 12SR WAX is precisely engineered for modern 12-speed Flattop drivetrains: less friction, quieter running, and reduced dirt adhesion. It delivers razor-sharp shifts and maximum durability – without compromise.

The initial hot wax treatment lasts 200-300km, after which re-waxing is recommended => We skip the cooling process to keep manufacturing costs low for the customer, which means the mileage on the first ride is slightly lower. However, after subsequent re-waxing, you will achieve the usual mileage.

Our recommendation:

Do not mix Connex and SRAM chains; the chains have slightly different dimensions and will therefore not run well when interchanged. Since Connex has slightly more material, it is necessary to fine-tune the derailleur.

The chains are treated with graphite hot wax, naturally compatible with graphene and graphite chain wax.

QuickLink in elegant black is included.

FAQs: Connex 12SR WAX – waxed 12-speed chain for SRAM Flattop

Is the Connex 12sR truly compatible with SRAM Flattop?

Yes. The 12SR is one of the few full-fledged alternatives to original SRAM Flattop chains.
It is compatible with:
SRAM Road: RED, Force, Rival (12-speed AXS)
SRAM MTB: Eagle Transmission (T-Type / 12-speed)
Also e-bike-ready, thanks to its high riveting force > 2000 N.
The included Connex Link is tool-free and can be opened as often as desired, ideal for regular waxing.

Can I alternate between a SRAM Flattop chain and a Connex SR chain?

What makes the Connex SR so exceptionally good?

The Flattop chain geometry tends to run louder and less smoothly than the classic 8-shape. Connex uses specially hardened pins and leaves plenty of material in the chain's running surfaces, thereby achieving particularly good values in tensile strength and wear resistance.

Company History

Lubricant Solution Made in Germany

Optimize was founded in April 2022 by me, Felix, because no chain wax available on the market convinced me in terms of lubrication performance and cleanliness. Since mid-2023, I have been running Optimize full-time with great passion, now supported by a small team. Our goal is well-designed products that solve real problems and make chain waxing easier – with technical solutions that other providers don't implement.

Leiser als Flattop

Kette fährt sich geräuscharmer als die originale flattop kette .
Vorgeachst und sofort fahrbereit.
Und das wiederverwendbare Missinglink das man per hand öffnen/schließen kann ist fürs heißwachsen eine super Ergänzung.
Empfehlenswert!

Erste Erfahrungen

Bis jetzt bin ich ca. 500 km mit der Kette NUR gefahren und bin begeistert. Extrem laufruhig mit sauberen Schaltvorgängen. Bestellvorgang/Lieferung alles top. Weitere Bewertungen werden folgen.

Die Kette ist in Ordnung.

Die Kette ist soweit in Ordnung, musste sie nur etwas kürzen und die Schaltung leicht nachjustieren. Das gewachste ist Top.
