The KMC e8 EPT chain is a 1/2" × 3/32" 6-/7-/8-speed e-bike chain featuring EcoProTeQ coating for twice the corrosion resistance of conventional finishes, a Double X-Bridge profile for smooth, omnidirectional shifting, and a tool-free MissingLink master link for rapid installation. Engineered specifically for mid-motor e-bikes, the BE08TEP22 offers increased tensile strength and durability under high loads, making it ideal for demanding urban, touring, and all-mountain biking conditions.
KMC GO Wax Benefits
- Long lasting: Once applied, the wax dries to form a protective barrier that outlasts oil based products
- Less dirt: Waxed chains attract less dirt, minimising the common causes of wear and ensures a smooth operation at all times
- Biodegradable: Free from PFAS and harsh solvents
- Easy to use: Easy to apply and the chain does not need to be dewaxed before rewaxing.
EPT Coating
The environmentally friendly EcoProTeQ technology (EPT) from KMC protects chains against corrosion for twice as long as conventional rust protection, setting a new standard. Each component of every chain link is treated separately with EPT. This means a 100% coating that offers the lowest possible attack by water, salt, and air humidity.
Another characteristic of EPT: The very smooth surface gives chains excellent running qualities. Dirt buildup is minimised in the long term, which means that chain maintenance is significantly relieved.

Recommended Care intervals
- Road Bikes: KMC recommend to care for your KMC Waxed at the latest after 250 km or at least once a month.
- MTB, cross and frequent riders in all weather conditions: After 100 km at the latest.
Rewaxing
- The chain must be dry before applying the wax
- The chain does not need to be dewaxed
- Shake the bottle and apply to the inside of the chain (One complete turn)
- Do not wipe off excess wax.
- Allow to dry completely before riding, especially in wet conditions
