I have ultegra group set and this is a great chain for my bike!
Great chain with easy installation
Nothing special about the Shimano chains. I like that now they include a master link in each package. I try to remember and oil it about every 250 miles. Make sure to measure the "stretch" and change the chain before it reaches the worn mark.
As always great genuine product. Can't go wrong with anything Ultegra!
I have tried using other brands of chains on Shimano systems. They work OK, but I just have slightly better shifting smoothness and few problems when I use the Shimano chains. The price is very affordable when you pick them up on a Daily Special.
Replaced my cassette and therefore needed to replace my chain. The gear shifts are smooth. I like this chain. Got it on sale for just a few dollars more than the Ultegra. I would recommend.
Purchased to replace Shimano Ultegra 11speed road bike chain. It arrived in good order and is working perfectly. Installation is in a specific orientation so chain engraved notations are facing outward. A chain break tool is required to remove links and properly size the chain by pushing out a link pin. Requires a surprising amount of force. Reconnecting using the supplied quick link which adds two link pins. In my case 112 total links = 110 plus two from quick link reconnection.
I use this chain for my GRX DI2 group set. It is good quality and longevity.
The Shimano's CN-HG701 11 Speed XT/Ultegra Chains are flawless on the electronic shifting drivetrains. I routinely clean and then hot wax all my chains. They�re whisper quiet, the entire drivetrain stays clean as a whistle, and I keep several chains cleaned, waxed, and ready to go. Having several chains saves time as I can quickly clean and wax several chains at once, and no dirty chain lube products on me, or my bike!
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.
When things go wrong with your transmission it's easy to blame the components that YOU have manipulated.
A bicycle is no different than a performance car.
Tuning is critical. Micro adjustments are a fact of life, and a piss poor chain line is a recipe for early chain and casset failure.
I only use original manufacturer parts because I understand that they are engineered to work together in harmony when properly installed.
Semper Fi Shimano, you are the cat's meow!
The ratio of longevity to weight can't be topped. I wax my chains, ride about 150 miles per week, and these never seem to wear out. Even if you happen to have a DuraAce groupset, I would use this chain.
This is the only chain I use on Shimano drive trains. Great value, great wear if you look after it. shifts great.
I just can't find a better chain than this for my Shimano 105 set-up. I ride mostly gravel and this chain hold up to constant sandstone and limestone gravel roads. I ride about 4000 miles annually, and go through 3-4 chains/year.
Super durable and high quality chain. Currently testing it with Silca Wax products and found that it is extremely suitable for this use case.
Great chain. Been using this one for years and it works like a gem.
This chain came out of the box with 0.5% chain wear and hit 0.75% after just 742 miles.
I suspect that some of these chains are counterfeit.

Shimano on Shimano. just works
Thank the the staff there on helping me select the right compatible components for my bike.
Quick, smooth shifting, durable upgrade to 105. This is my standard chain now.
