| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Price Paid: | $27 |
| Purchased At: | LBS |
| Strengths: | It works. Not showing signs of excessive wear. |
| Weaknesses: | Seems to suck in any loose dirt and gravel more often than competing chains. A little expensive when compared with a generic KMC chain which seems to be identical in form and function. |
| Similar Products Tried: | KMC generic, SRAM model I've forgotten |
| Bike Setup: | 1997 Gemini Echo Beach, Deore FD, Deore XT RD, Alivio cranks/chainrings and shifters |
| Bottom Line: | Expensive for no real gain. Busted a link for no apparent reason after only 80KM. Next time I think I'll just buy a generic KMC, a third the price. |

| Strengths: | No problems at all, came stock on bike. Keep it clean and lubed and has never given me a problem and I'm a 215lb rider who rides 3-4 times a week and does just as much uphill as i do down hill. |
| Weaknesses: | none so far |
| Bike Setup: | Specialized HR Sport, RS Dart 3, Sun Rims on XT Hubs, Truvativ 2.2 crank, rest is stock but more upgrades to come soon. |
| Bottom Line: | no problems at all. |
