Strengths: Smooth shifting. Powerlink compatible.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: The bike came with a stock Z51 chain that had constant slipping and was as noisy as all get out. Upgraded to the Z72S. Talk about night and day!!! The Z72S works great with my new SRAM Casette, SRAM F Derailleur. None of that "drag" feeling anymore. I am looking forward to miles and miles of smooth riding.
Favorite Trail: commuting, paved paths. Liberty State Park

Strengths: It wasn't too expensive.Weaknesses: Noisy when shifting in dry conditions. Skips at times.Bottom Line: The bottom line is that this chain broke after 3 months of normal use and it's overall performance is not that great. I will by shimano or sram and not kmc next time.

Strengths: strong. way stronger than shimano 8 and 9 spd chains i have used. tis one ain't breaking.
fast, crisp shifting. (but that's with xt 8spd shifters and and xtr rear mech :P )Weaknesses: during crazy downhilling, mad chain slap can knock out the missing link!!!
getting a chainstay roach pad or chain guide fixes this problemBottom Line: this is the only chain is sell to my customers.
this is the only chain i use.
if you run a 7 or 8 spd cassette, this should be your chain too, if properly installed and maintained, they last.
strength is way up there. iunno about the shifting. with my setup, it always shifts great, regardless of the cassette, chain, or conditions......
go get one. eh.
Favorite Trail: anythin that goes down.....

Strengths: stiff, easy to install w/ the missing link system, clean shifts, no skippingWeaknesses: none so farBottom Line: good chain for the money. installation was a breeze and im sure that if i NEED to get it off, it won't be a hassle, cuz i can just get another "missing link" and put it all back together again. I was getting major chain skipping problems on the sram when i cranked down full power on sprints or steep climbs, but now the chain's smooth and i can pedal w/ confidence.
