Z-Serie<\/h2>\n
\n

KMC was the first chain manufacturer to develop special chains for e-bikes with mid-drive motors. Their analysis of power transmission in mid-drive e-bikes revealed that the frequent shifting under load requires significantly higher safety margins, which cannot be achieved with conventional chains. The critical component is the connecting pin, which is subjected to extreme forces during shifting. KMC's revolutionary riveting technology sets new standards \u2013 the chains in the KMC e-series are extremely durable and offer unparalleled service life for both derailleur and hub gear systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Technologies used<\/h3>\n

    In this chapter, we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.<\/p>\n

    \n

    EPT<\/b>
    \nKMC's latest milestone in rust protection. The non-toxic EcoProTeQ treatment doubles the rust resistance compared to KMC's RB anti-rust treatment. The benefits of this ultra-smooth coating include maximum rust resistance, low noise, and a great appearance.<\/p>\n

    Nickel Plated<\/b>
    \nNickel is an alloying metal primarily used for steel refining. It makes steel corrosion-resistant, increases its hardness and toughness, and is very effective as a rust inhibitor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
