Is the Shimano Alfine CN-HG93 the Right Chain for Your Build?

The Shimano Alfine CN-HG93 is a 9-speed chain engineered specifically for Hyperglide-compatible sprockets, delivering the fast and precise rear shifting that Shimano's HG system is built around. The chain's geometry is optimized to engage Alfine and HG 9-speed cogs cleanly, especially during downshifts under load, which is where lesser chains hesitate and skip. Chromized rivet pins throughout the chain provide significantly improved wear resistance compared to standard steel pins, extending service life in high-mileage riding conditions.

The outer links feature a zinc-alloy plated surface treatment that resists corrosion and keeps the chain running smoothly with consistent lubrication. At 116 links, it covers standard single and double chainring setups on Alfine or compatible 9-speed drivetrains, with removal of links possible to dial in the correct length. This is the chain to run if you want OEM-grade compatibility and durability on a Shimano Alfine, Alivio, Sora, or any HG 9-speed drivetrain.

FAQ

Can I use a quick link with the CN-HG93?

Shimano recommends connecting their chains with the included connecting pin rather than a quick link for optimal performance. However, some riders do use compatible 9-speed quick links with acceptable results. Check pin width compatibility before using a third-party link.

Is the CN-HG93 compatible with SRAM 9-speed cassettes?

In many cases yes, as 9-speed chains from Shimano are frequently used cross-brand on SRAM 9-speed drivetrains. That said, for guaranteed compatibility and optimal shifting, pair it with Shimano HG 9-speed components.

How often should I replace the CN-HG93 chain?

Replace when a chain wear indicator reads 0.75% stretch or greater. For most riders this is every 1,500 to 3,000 miles depending on conditions, lubrication habits, and how often the drivetrain is cleaned.

Best For

Riders running a Shimano Alfine, Alivio, Sora, or any HG-compatible 9-speed drivetrain who want a direct OEM replacement chain with proven wear resistance and clean shifting out of the box.
