It's finished in polished silver and comes with 114 links plus a PowerLock non-reusable connecting link for secure installation. Use it when replacing a worn chain or assembling a new drivetrain to maintain designed shifting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this chain improve shifting on an 11-speed drivetrain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red 22's outer plates and chamfered link profiles guide the chain smoothly onto cogs and chainrings, reducing missed shifts and hesitation.
