Since its founding in 1916, the production of bicycle chains has been the core business of the Japanese company IZUMI CHAIN. Track and Keirin riders around the world trust the quality of IZUMI chains, known for their durability and top performance. They are also an excellent choice for city bikes with hub gears or fixies. The company's exclusive focus on the development and production of high-quality chains and its passion for the drivetrain – the heart of every bicycle – have earned IZUMI an outstanding reputation. It's no coincidence that since 1976, the company’s Osaka facility has also been producing chains for drivetrain specialist Shimano. To this day, IZUMI remains a family-run business, manufactures exclusively in Japan, and produces more than 4.5 million bicycle chains annually.
