CN-HG701 11 Speed Chain Ultegra/XT

It's a chain. It does chain stuff - it is reliable, sturdy and durable. These come with a master link aka quick link aka missing link. I use these chains on my Ultegra Di2 11-speed setups. Keep the chains clean and serviced, and they'll last quite a while. I can run about 4,000 miles on one until I am due for a replacement, and I remove them and clean them in an ultrasonic parts cleaner about every 1,500 miles. I clean and re-lubricate them about every 150 miles, or when I get them visibly dirty - whichever comes first.

This chain is my go to. I'm getting about 2000-2500 miles out of them changing when the wear tool suggests they are worn. Easy to install.

Wish that this had come with a quick link like the SRAM does, but this does the job!

Good 11sp chain to match my ultegra drivetrain. Exactly as advertised. Enough links for my 5236 midcompact with an 11-30 at the rear.

These are good chains at competitive prices. Life span depends On the rider , bike and hills.

If you have both 10 and 11 speed bikes then these chains work for both.

Just put this new chain on. It uses a quick link instead of the old pin technology. That seemed to simplify installation for me.

I'll definitely pick this chain for my the replacement on another bike.

Great value chain that lasts many miles. Always prefer the Ultegra because of price as it's a much better deal than the Dura Ace that provides only a small weight allowance.

The chain was very noisy. At first I thought it was front derailleur rub but not the case. The chain would also occasionally sound as if it was jumping a cog. It was a bit quieter with a ton of lube but still not acceptable. The chain direction was correct and even after 700 miles it never stopped. I think I'm going to try a Sram 1170.

I have this chain on several bikes and it works great. It also lasts quite a while although I don't tract mileage on my chains. I do take care of them however. Lube when necessary. On the rain bike, WD-40 to displace the water and chain lube for it's intended purpose.

general riding in all kinds of weather with great success

Slight upgrade to my 105, works well.

economical, durable, quality.

will perform better against other similar products,

This is a replacement and Ultegra always works well.

This chain moves my rear tire when I pedal and has a lot of shiny links. I highly recommend it.

I especially like the quick link to join the chain ends after sizing. Its not reusable (per Shimano) but it seems to be more foolproof than using a pin like older models required.

Ill use this chain when I need a replacement too.

Deal of the day. Long lasting chain

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.

works well -- I usually get 10,000 miles plus on the Ultegra chain

Product as expected and works well !

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