Why Do Serious Cyclists Choose the Shimano CN-HG701-11 Chain?

The Shimano CN-HG701-11 is a high-performance 11-speed chain designed to work across road, MTB, and e-bike drivetrains. The HG-X11 directional construction optimizes each side for its respective shifting direction, with front shifting on the left and rear shifting on the right, delivering smoother transitions and quieter running at any cadence. SIL-TEC treatment on the roller link plates and pin link plates reduces friction and improves durability, keeping the chain cleaner and more efficient over a longer service life compared to untreated chains.

Compatible with all Shimano 11-speed road and MTB groupsets including GRX, Ultegra, XT, and STEPS e-bike systems. Reinforced design rated for e-bike use. Ships at 126 links. A Shimano 11-speed connecting pin or compatible quick-link is required for installation.
