ShimanoDura-Ace/XTR CN-HG901 11-Speed Chain(Return to Product Page)

this is one of those parts that you will notice more if it dose not work, because you put it on and expect to forget it till you need to replace it. I would buy it again.

Quiet. Smooth. Durable. Use this on all our bikes.

If you ride a lot you know keeping a clean, up to spec, and well lubricated drive chain pays dividends. After upgrading to a pair of Enve 3.4 tubeless disc wheels from BTD, I added a new Shimano cassette and Dura Ace Chain. Pairing new wheels with a new cassette and chain made it feel like I had a brand new bike and nothing beats a new Shimano Dura Ace chain for smooth and sure shifting.

Its the best chain for Shimano drive trains. I stripped off the factory grease, applied a dry wax-based lube and installed on a Dura-Ace Di2 groupset. Works flawlessly as expected. Great price and not much of a premium over the Ultegra chain.

Shimano makes good chains that work well as long as you're religious about keeping them lubed. I use dyno juice as the wax crap gums up the chain, chain rings and cassette. Wipe down and lube every 100 miles and you'll get at least 2,000 miles before having to replace due to stretching.

Love it but nothing much different from Ultegra

As many know, this is a hollow pin chain made for Shimano by KMC chains. Its great durability and seems to outlast my last chian which was an Ultegra 11 speed. So far 4000 mikes on the dura ace chain completely stripped and using Silca chain wax. Rides like Buttah....lol

Best chain for crisp shifting

Quick link is extremely convenient. At BTD's sale price the Dura-Ace chain is a great cost/benefit value.

Love this chain , super mileage when used with Boeshield t 9 6000 oiling every 120 or so

This could be the lightest chain on the market but as a result may not last as long as a heavier model.

This chain is great for the style of riding that I do. No complaints from me.

It's dura-ace. It is a great chain.

Shimano is a good, predictable chain. It lasts as long as more expensive competitors. Shimano is now including a quick-link instead of a connecting pin. Most will probably like that. I find it easier to join the chain with a pin than with the quick-link. I have tools for both methods. And you still need a chain pin tool to shorten a new chain to its proper length.

CHAIN IS SMOOTH - BUT QUICK LINK REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT WITHOUT TOOL

Now that Shimano offers a quick link, all you need is a chain breaker for a quick (reliable) chain replacement.

Buy a Park Tools chain checker, and replace at 0.5. Your drivetrain will thank you!

No more pins, quick link included.

Dura Ace chains are nice and light but that comes at more than just higher sales price - it wears much faster than most other chains, so the sales price become nearly double because of increased purchase frequency!

But Ultegra solves that problem (somewhat) better sales price and lasts longer.

The 2 extra links that are included with the xtr over the xt are need for my Jones Ti plus,

Exactly what I expected. And fast delivery!
