KMC X9SLChain Question on new bike

Hi, My Rockhopper pro came with a KMC X9SLChain, it looks and feels pretty good, however I've had a chain snap on me before (not a kmc one) and wondered if they make the correct links for this to carry as spare, but i cannot seem to find them for sale anywhere, (i dont think standard kmc links fit)
I have noticed that looking at the spec of my bike is said this about the chain:
KMC X9SL w/ reusable Missing Link
I've not idea what that means (being a newbie)
Can anyone shed some light please.
Thanks

use these to join your chain. Look carefully on your rig now and it should have one. You can carry spare links just in case. I carry a chain tool/multitool too so if a link is 1/2 out whatever I can drive the pin fully out then join.
Hope this helps its kinda late and my brain is fried.0 -
I had batter and bruised my KMC X9L and love it, changed gears in high up hill by mistake and still kept going.
So got a deal for 26.00 delivered on the SL and even lighter and looks better.
I am sticking with KMC.0 -
