Cycling Tips – Radical new chain claims to be faster, more durable than anything available

With over a century of refinement behind them, the roller chains used on modern bicycles are incredibly efficient, remarkably strong and durable, and relatively inexpensive.

There’s always room for improvement, though, and UK company New Motion Labs has introduced a completely different design that not only promises better efficiency, but also decreased wear throughout the entire drivetrain, and all without the need for laborious cleaning and lubrication procedures.

This isn’t just some lab experiment, either. They’re soon going to be used in top-tier UCI track races.
