The time has come to get your hands on the category smashing Interlock Supreme chain but only if you act fast!
Pushing the limits is an understatement when it comes to the Interlock Supreme chain. The original and best half-link chain that just got better. Using forging, a manufacturing process that has never been applied to a BMX chain before, we we’re able to implement a completely unique plate and pin design to help eliminate all weak points and arguably create the strongest BMX chain ever.
Have a problem breaking chain links? Our new proprietary forging process allows us to condense the metal used in the chain plate to create the stiffest and hardest chain plate possible. Along with extra wide mushroomed pins and hardened rollers, this chain tested at an incredible tensile strength of 1500 kgs and higher! You can now ride in confidence knowing you have the best technology to keep you rollin’ .
– 1/8″ size, includes 98 links and 2 master pins
– Compatible with 8T driver and up
– Weight: 11.1 oz. @ 72 links”

The chain is available in black and silver colors. It comes with a single pre-installed half-link to give you proper dropout adjustment and a master link for easy installation.

I’ve personally ran the Tractor Chain for the past two years and it has held up amazing for me. If you aren’t a fan of half-link chains, but want that adjustability for 25 or 28-tooth sprockets, this is definitely worth taking a look at. The strength is excellent, it was easy to install and I haven’t had to worry about bashing my knee on the stem like I have had to with other BMX chains in the past. You can’t go wrong with strong and reliable.
