Worth the extra

I run Ultegra level components, but always use the Dura Ace chain. Worth the few extra bucks to get a smoother and quieter driveline.

Thank you for your feedback.

Its a chain

Its a chain. It does the job. I find it to be quieter than SRAM chains.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great chain and love the new quick link

This is a quiet and durable chain, and love the quick link from Shimano - long overdue. A bit pricey but it is Dura Ace.

Thank you for your feedback.

Chain Chain Chain

Unlike the lyrics to Aretha Franklin's hit - this chain does not fool around. I used the Dura-Ace to replace a worn Ultegra chain on my Wilier Zero 9 - the new chain performs flawlessly.

Thank you for your feedback.

Quiet with awesome mileage

Most of my riding is in true flat lands in Bluffton SC near Savannah Ga

I oil this chain weekly and get incredible mileage

No more noise.

Used this to replace a KMC that just wasn't right, the KMC made noise on my Campy drivetrain, this chain is great, no more noise.

Nice chain

I am having my first experience with Dura Ace, 9000 group set. I had never spent this much on a chain. It very smooth and quiet.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano�s flagship, holds wax well

Gave my Ultegra drivetrain a little more snap. The hollow link pins offer 11 grams off the Ultegra chain, but personally I�m happier about the extra surface area it provides for wax.

Thank you for your feedback.

DURA ACE / XTR (the BEST)

25 MILES (DAILY)

I ride everyday. Don't want to think about my chain. Don't have to!

A few extra bucks for top end quality.

Easy choice.

Thank you for your feedback.

Didn't realize this would make such an improvement

My old chain had about 7k miles and while I didn't think it was that worn, this new chain made a noticeable difference in lowering the noise.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano, always high quality and reasonably priced.

When it comes time to replace my chain, I go between Dura-Ace and Ultegra depending on what's available at a good price. I have been extremely happy with both and wear seems to be about the same. Just keep it lubed (about every 300 miles) and wipe it down after every ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent chain

One of those non-glamorous non-carbon parts that is so underrated but so essential. Shimano knows WTF they're doing, and this chain is perfect. Works slick with my Ultegra groupset.

Thank you for your feedback.

Quiet and smooth shifting, and long lasting.

I use these chains on my road and mtb shimano equipped bikes. The Pin seems to work well, and I carry a master link in case of an emergency.

Thank you for your feedback.

It's Shimano, all you need to know!

My go to chain. It runs quieter, smoother and lasts longer. Hollow pins make it lighter as well.
