'POOR SHIFTING, BROKEN CONNECTOR LINK. '

Strengths:
Looks rather bling bling. Changes OK when not under to much power. Very lightweight.

Weaknesses:
Price, KMC missing link connector snapped first time used it (halfway through 2nd lap of Enduro6). Shifting is just painful and noisy when pushing it. Jumps over cassette.

Overall:
This is the worst thing I've ever bought for my MTB. Renewed the whole drivetrain (Middleburn slickshift rings, SRAM PG990 cassette, XTR front mech, chain) and this chain was the weakest link. Can feel it jumping in certain gears when really pushing it. Never had that problem with my old SRAM PC99 Hollow Pin.
