The SRAM Red E1 12-Speed Chain takes the lightest and most durable chain they've ever made and makes it lighter. With no compromises. HollowPin construction is lighter and stronger than a solid pin, and cutouts in the outer and inner plates drop 13 g from the previous generation. This results in a lighter, faster, stronger and more durable chain.

When I decided to replace my SRAM force cassette with a new ratio, I opted to bling up the bike with a RED oil slick/rainbow cassette. At the same time, I bought the matching rainbow RED chain. The chain has performed great and I think it looks mint. Can't say if it's worth the premium over the Force chain, but for me, the look alone is worth it. Only minor bummer is that if you wax your chain like I do, the hollow pins fill up with wax.
