ShimanoUltegra/XT CN-HG701 11-Speed Chain(Return to Product Page)

I'm a big boy (245 lbs) and usually ate at least one chain per season if not two with Ultegra 10 spd chains. After upgrading to 11 spd Ultegra and chains I now get about a year and a half to two years from the newer Shimano 11 spd chains. Articles suggest using these chains for 10 spd drivetrains as well because of their superior construction, materials, and longevity.

Always have used Shimano chains and always have great results. Smooth shifting and quiet with easy installation.

Solid chain. Easy to install

It is the only option on Ultegra and Durace according to Shimano. They last 1500-2000 miles and at $40-$50, they are not cheap. Great chain but I wish there were more options.

Had no issues with this chain, lasted longer than the dura ace model.

It's a genuine Shimano chain. No worries about short chain life or breakage like when purchasing from unrepeatable sellers.

I use this chain on one of my two 11-speed bikes

Smooth shifting, long lasting chain at a good price. I prefer not to mix brands on my drive train - Shimano cassette, crank and chain on my Di2 road bike. Likewise, I use only Sram chain, crank and cassette on my mountain bike. Compatibility insures everything works as it was engineered

Wish that this had come with a quick link like the SRAM does, but this does the job!

These are good chains at competitive prices. Life span depends On the rider , bike and hills.

If you have both 10 and 11 speed bikes then these chains work for both.

Slight upgrade to my 105, works well.

This is a replacement and Ultegra always works well.

Great chain for my 11s, glad that Shimano now includes a smart link.

Functional long life chain

This chain is exactly what I expected. Seems fine, and will go on my bike, when the old one is worn to the point of needing replacement. I'm sure it will work as advertised

precise & reliable with long life for a,great price

I installed a new drivetrain, crankset, cassette and this chain and I'm completely happy with it.

Deal of the day. Long lasting chain

works well -- I usually get 10,000 miles plus on the Ultegra chain

Never had a problem
