KMC X8 - 7/8 Speed Chain

The X8 brings the full KMC X-Series engineering to 6, 7, and 8-speed drivetrains — the same Double X-Bridge construction, mushroom riveting, and stretch-proof treatment as the X9 and X10, in the wider 3/32" chain width that older and entry-level drivetrains use. Solid pins, inner and outer plates make for an economical chain choice with all the performance of higher-level X-Series chains.

Nickel Plated — Clean, Durable Finish Full nickel plating helps prevent corrosion and increases lubricity, helping the chain last longer, run smoother, and look cleaner throughout its service life. The silver finish is the classic KMC look that works on any build.

Broad Compatibility — 6, 7, and 8-Speed Compatible with all 6, 7, and 8-speed systems — Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo. A single chain covers the full range of entry-level, commuter, and older drivetrains without needing to match a specific brand or model.

Non-Directional — Simple to Install Non-directional design means no arrows to follow and no risk of backwards installation. Quick and straightforward at the workstand or on the trail.

KMC MissingLink Included KMC MissingLink included for tool-free chain removal and installation. Remove the chain for cleaning, reinstall it in seconds, no chain tool required once the link is set.

Specifications

Note on chain width: The X8 uses a 3/32" wide chain, which is correct for 6, 7, and 8-speed drivetrains. If your bike runs 9-speed or higher, see the X9, X10, or X11 which use the narrower 11/128" chain width.
