ShimanoUltegra CN-6701 10-Speed Chain(Return to Product Page)

Great chain for the price I have never broken one and put in plenty of miles

solid quality from Shimano, quick shipping

I've used a dozen of these chains, never had any issues with them, if you keep them lubed I've been getting 4000 miles out of them.

Not much to review about a chain. It was easy to install. Works great if you keep it lubed.

Long lasting , great chain.

Even on sale this will set you back. I haven't found one, but does anyone know of a smooth, long-lasting option that ramps well and is a bit cheaper? I ride too much (on a limited budget) to have to replace a chain of this cost 2X a year...

No complaints with the chain. Well worth the money. I use a KMC QR link without issue so far, even though it is not recommended.

Since I've got an all current generation Ultegra 6700DuraAce 7900 drive train, I thought I'd get one of the latest type of Shimano chains to compare it with the KMC's which I've been running over the past 2-3 years. This chain is better, particularly when downshifting the chain rings. No chainsuck issues at all (if you've ever had that happen, you'll appreciate the benefit of the asymetrical design of this chain). A definite recommendation!

Will always use this chain, prefer over Dura Ace, better value.

got 6,300 miles and still going on this chain

I recently purchased this chain as a replacement for a KMC chain I had previously. My bike had a mix of Shimano 105, KMC, and FSA components, but I've made a couple upgrades to Ultegra as I wore parts out. I found this chain to be easy to install and it's running smoothly on my bike now. I've noticed that my efficiency has increased slightly since installation, which has translated to several unexpected PRs on Strava segments. I am very happy with the high standard Shimano has set with their components, and Ultegra is a great balance of performance and price.

Of fools. Pandemic allowed me to ride more miles in 2020 that normal and led to the rookie mistake of waiting too long to replace the chain which often time leads to replacing the cassette too. As was the case this time. Word of advice for the DIY'er, make sure you have a quality chain tool and use the right pin as 9sp, 10sp, and 11sp are all different. If using a master link, you'll find it much easier to connect with Master Link pliers like Park MLP-1.2.

A new chain can make your bike run like a deer. I love my Cannondale caad10 Ultegra, but even more when my favorite mechanic Todd puts on a new chain and tightens up the derailleur. Ride safe, but wear a bracelet with your medical contact.

Replaced my original chain after 3600 miles (still had life left) on trek road bike. The shimano is lighter and shifts smoother than the original even when new. I get good miles out of my chains as I clean them every 150-200 miles. I remove soak them in simple green, scrub with paint brush, rinse and blow dry with hair dryer, reinstall with master link then use Motorex road strong motor cycle lube. I know your thinking this guy is text book OCD my wife keeps telling me that, never the less my LBS tells me what ever I'm doing its working.

Cleans easy and last long.

Great chain. Great price.

Use on our tandems

I have an all Ultegra 10 speed drive train, except for FSA cranks. I ran Ultegra chains for a couple of years, but then came across sale on Dura Ace 10 speed chains and decided to try it. No perceptible difference in performance or longevity, but noticeably quieter that Ultegra. Now I can't seem to find Dura Ace 10 speed chains anywhere. Perhaps Shimano has quit making them. Anyway, the Ultegra chain is a great chain and if you find it on sale get a couple.

Hi I am new rider and I don't know very much about the 10 speed chains. Does it fits any size? I had a 10 speed cassette Shimano.

Well made, lasts longer than other brands, use on tandems and single bikes
