Get X01...
Sram xx1 chains are getting RARE
With the lack of Sram chains right now, what brand can we trust until they are back? My xx1 gold just passed the .50 stretch and I have one more race to go this season

found one on major online, but $130 bucks seems crazy to me for a chain
There were tons of GX chains at my LBS. GX is a whopping 5 grams heavier than XX1.

True but you'll get 3x the life out of an xx1.
OP is looking for a temp solution until the XX1 is back in stock. With one race left, a fraction of the price, pending in stock, it's a really good option.True but you'll get 3x the life out of an xx1.
SRAM XX1 Eagle Hollowpin Chain
It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible new chain design is anything but normal and it makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring...
It's pretty hard to go wrong with 12 speed chains. Apparently when chains were wider they had pretty sloppy tolerances. When 1x came out tolerances had to be dialed in which resulted in more durable chains. KMC would be my last choice. Shimano, YBN, low end sram... All good. The low end srams are great as long as you replace on time. Top end sram will last longer but not 2x as long as cheap. That would by my gauge. 50% the price of top end I would go cheap all day long because I never push a chain too long. For someone that never checks their chain top end sram for sure.
I break everything… the xx1’s have always held up well for me. Just looking for opinions on a temp replacement. The x12 from KMC seems like it might be the way to go. I’ve killed many lower end Sram chains.It's pretty hard to go wrong with 12 speed chains. Apparently when chains were wider they had pretty sloppy tolerances.

The KMC Turbo chain did hold up pretty well on my ebike. Even after over 2000km it wasn't streched over the 0,50 mark.I break everything… the xx1’s have always held up well for me.

Shifting was ok.
Stopped by my lbs and they had about a dozen of the xo1 and xx1 chains available today. Also has derailers, shifters, and cassettes and plenty of them.
