Packaging/appearance

I noticed a big difference in how smooth it felt to pedal from the z7 i had been using

Good quality but delivered in damaged packaging

They used to show the packaging on the kmc website but not any more

Competitiveness

Wish it had a few more links but decent chain for the price

Fit my offbrand 3x8 mountain bike with no trouble

Just like the headline says from a name brand
