Yes, the oil carrying grooves are on both sides of the new 95TXL chain.I think I see the slots on both sides of all the drive links. Otherwise the difference seems the Carlton one K1 is simpler.
The cutter lengths on the 95TXL and 95VP samples I have measure out about the same.The 95 txl teeth looks short i think, is the chain out on the marked in the USA?

Low-Kickback?
- The Carlton chain shown lacks any type of low-kickback bumpers (some other Carlton chains have them).
.....
Confused yet? Oregon says that compliance with the ANSI B175.1 standard is performance based. So, even though it has low-kickback drive links, and offers 'some' kickback reducing advantages, it does not meet the requirements to be labeled as a 'low-kickback chain' based on test fixture performance.
It looks the improvement is in the stamping of the tie strap and slots of sorts on the sides of the drive link. I think I see the slots on both sides of all the drive links. Otherwise the difference seems the Carlton one K1 is simpler. not offset depth gauge, no bumper tie strap, no oiling features on tie strap or drive link and as mentioned the heel.
None of the pictured chains have bumper tie straps. That is a feature that is getting more and more unusual, likely for good reasons.
It is 'yellow' chain, based on performance tests.

I can't tell you what they are thinking. What they are saying is that 95TXL is replacing 95VPX. They are describing it as more of a 'professional' chain.. . they may need to keep the 95VPX in production as well as the TXL...

Interesting point (no pun intended) on the chisel chain. I know of at least one potential customer in Norway!
