Shadow Conspiracy – The Best BMX Chains Ever Made

Leave a Comment

There’s no denying that when it comes to BMX chains, the crew at The Shadow Conspiracy have been innovators when it comes to the half-link chain, which has become increasingly popular with a number of brands also offering their own version. Today they released two videos to give you some insight into the strength and design process of their popular Interlock V2 and their Interlock Supreme chains that you have undoubtably seen during one of your sessions with friends or have owned or currently own. Above is the stress test video and below is a video showing how they make the chain, which is real interesting to see.

Even better? The Shadow Conspiracy have enough confidence in their new Interlock Supreme chain, that they are now offering a LIFETIME WARRANTY to the original owner against all defects in materials and workmanship as well as bending, cracking, or breaking while under normal riding conditions. Learn more right here.

“From the original Interlock half-link chain that changed BMX drivetrains forever in 2003, Shadow has always had one goal, to create the best BMX chains ever made. 13 years later and we can confidently say we have done that.

The custom, interlocking plate design of the Shadow Interlock system, coupled with heat treated, mushroomed pins allow our chains to test highest of any chain on the market. Need proof? Check out the video above and see how the Interlock Supreme and Interlock V2 crush the competition in machine testing.

“Want to know why Shadow’s Interlock chains are the strongest? Watch our Form and Function video giving you the run down of the technology found within each of our Interlock chains. From the omni-directional design that prevents your chain plates from getting caught on missed grinds to the cold forged, 3D offset plates of the Interlock Supreme chain for extra protection, our years of research and development will make sure you keep riding without issue.
