Another great Shimano product. Easy to install and really improved my ride.

Exact replacement, excellent performance
Review by FLBiker
Installs easily and works great, shifts are smooth. I change my chain when the chain tool says to, and I don't really notice a difference except that everything keeps working.

These chains never fail to exceed its expectations. Tried all the others but always came back to these.
Review by Old enough to know better
I learned the hard way that 10 speed chains need more frequent cleaning than ancient 5 & 6 speed chains AND that you MUST read the manual. You must not break the chain and reuse the pin as we did years ago. That said - what a relief to return to quiet reliable shifting. From the amount of stretch over the past 900 miles on the identical chain I'm going to guess that I'll get about 2500 miles before replacing it with the chain I just bought.

I purchased this for the price was right and sticking with Shimano ultegra items with ultegra gears only makes sense for they fit well together.
No noticeable difference or problems

Usually get 2,000 to 3,000 miles of really good performance
Review by CaptainPico
It seems like there is no longer a Shimano CN-7901 10-Speed Chain available for purchase. When I received this chain the box states its for Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105 10-Speed drive trains. Its a bit confusing but the price on the so called Ultegra chain is affordable. I guess I can now just replace my chain more often. My bigger concern is that Shimano apparently is abandoning continued 10-Speed component support.

This has a single pin closure and if the length is wrong you have to punch out links but there is no link to re-attach.

Noticably smoother shifts...lighter weight...easy cut and fit...Shimano quality!

Solid durable chain that does exactly what it's supposed to. Great durability on the road and the trainer both.

Backup chain.
Review by Sailmeister
Chain performs above expectations. Entire drivetrain is smoother shift and is unbelievably quiet.
Review by cyclingrocha
I use this chain with my 2 bikes with RotorQ Rings rings as well as one with Di2. Of all the chains I used this one shift the best and last the longest.

I changed from 5034 to 5236 front gears. I always use Shimano chains they just work and last

Works great- obviously a little heavier that a Dura Ace chain, but great bang for the buck.

Like most (all?) Shimano Ultegra products, it strikes a good price/performance balance.

The chain works fine...

These ultegras last long and are a much better value than the dura-ace version.
