Shimano
CN-HG701 11 Speed Chain Ultegra/XT

I use this chain on my Trek Madone 6.3 with Di2 Ultegra system. Works great, happy with performance.

I was disappointed in a chain that was recommended by another store, I mixed chain with cassette only because of the quick link on the chain I purchased at the time. Shimano now offers a quick link, thus I replaced my old chain with the Shimano and the chain made a noticeable difference, less noise and cleaner shifts.

When it came time to replace my stock, worn down KMC chain, my mechanic suggested Shimano and a great suggestion it was. The Shimano is so smooth and quiet.

The durability of the UltegraXT chain stands the test of hundreds of high torque elevation climbs on my Diverge, it's smooth and superb on my gear changes. Bravo

I'm a big boy (245 lbs) and usually ate at least one chain per season if not two with Ultegra 10 spd chains. After upgrading to 11 spd Ultegra and chains I now get about a year and a half to two years from the newer Shimano 11 spd chains. Articles suggest using these chains for 10 spd drivetrains as well because of their superior construction, materials, and longevity.

The Ultegra 11 speed chain was just what I need at a great price

Shifts just as good as my Dura Ace chain, but a half the price. It's a win win.

The ultegra chain is fairly light and smooth shifting.

Easy to put on, no complaints.

The Ultegra chain now sells at a lower price and just seems to work best on my Ultegra drivetrain.

Lasts several thousand miles and spins smooth. Works great with Shimano drivetrain.

This chain include a quick link for connecting the chain, not the usual connecting pin. Unlike quick links made by other manufacturers this one seems to require a special tool to secure the connection. I tried pulling on the chain which works with other brands but I could not get a connection that didn't simply fall apart when the tension was released. Why couldn't they have included an old fashioned connecting pin that requires nothing more than a conventional chain tool?

This stuff just keeps getting better

Three thumbs up for a new smooth running & shifting Ultegra chain

As a heavier (190lbs all muscle) cyclist and the fact that I ride a lot of steep hills I tend to go through chains a little faster than the average person. This chain hold up well and I would recommend the Ultegra or the Dura Ace chain. If money is tighter go with the Ultegra.

used it on dura ace trek madone. works great.

I like the smoothness, durability, and price of Shimano Ultegra chains. This one came with a quick link instead of a breakaway pin. Once I figured out how to install it, it was easier than the pin. You don't need the pliers. Just line up the link, and put pressure on the cranks to snap it into place.

i use ,y bike daily road cycling, it's OEM replacement parts at a great price shipped to my door. works as expected.

Easy to install, super smooth shifting.

Replaced my previous chain and couldn't be happier! The performance of this chain has been nothing but outstanding!
