Extra UK have become the latest distributor of KMC chains, sprockets and cassettes for the UK and Ireland (via their Irish subsidiary Cyclex).
KMC – the world’s largest chain manufacturer, and a business with more than 40 years of experience – offers a wide range of products delivering functionality, and universal compatibility, whilst seeking to maximum durability. Here the brand highlights that many field tests have shown KMC chains last much longer than those from other manufacturers.
Mark Greshon, head of brands at Extra UK, comments: “KMC is a great addition to our brand portfolio and further strengthens our workshop offering which includes Enduro Bearings, Jagwire, Motorex and more.
“Our workshop-focused area at COREbike was a huge success this year and highlighted the importance of us offering the best workshop and replacement part brands to our customers. The KMC line-up features a wide range of compatibility, technologies and price points that will appeal to most bike shops and consumer’s needs.”
While KMC is best known for their chains, this level of dedication and focus also extends to its range of cassettes, chainrings, sprockets and tools.
A wide range of KMC product is already in stock and available from Extra UK and Cyclex with more on the way.
Rob Compass, after-market sales manager at KMC Europe, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Extra UK as our new UK and Ireland distributor. At KMC, we value partnerships that enhance our reach and strengthen our service, and with Extra UK’s dedicated team, we are poised to achieve just that.
“Their commitment to quality and service aligns perfectly with our mission to provide top-notch products and
support to resellers. Together, we look forward to setting new standards in the industry and achieving
great success. Welcome aboard, Extra.”

KMC is also distributed in the UK by Chicken CycleKit and Greyville.
