FAQ

Can I use this chain with a 10-speed road groupset?

The CN-HG54 is designed for 10-speed MTB Dyna-sys drivetrains. For road 10-speed drivetrains like Ultegra 6700 or 105 5700, use a road-specific chain like the CN-6701 for best compatibility.

What direction does the chain install?

The CN-HG54 is directional. The outer plates are marked with directional indicators. Install the chain so the text faces outward and the chain runs in the correct direction of travel.

Is this chain compatible with SRAM 10-speed MTB drivetrains?

SRAM uses a different cable pull ratio but the chain itself is cross-compatible with most 10-speed HG cassettes. For best shifting with SRAM shifters, verify compatibility with your specific drivetrain.

Best For

Hardtail and trail riders on Shimano 10-speed MTB drivetrains who ride in muddy or wet conditions and need a durable chain that maintains shifting performance when conditions get dirty.
