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

Performs precisely on my road and gravel bikes. Keep your drive train clean and you'll get plenty of miles out of this chain. And I've never broken a link even in hard gunky climbs.

Can't comment much about chain per se. Can only comment based upon experience with present gear setup. Have 34-50 compact gear rings with 11-32 cassette. Seems chain is not very tolerant with this setup. Had to replace chain despite Park Tool measuring tool did not even indicate 0.5mm of stretch, or wear. Not chain's fault.

This chain is my go to. I'm getting about 2000-2500 miles out of them changing when the wear tool suggests they are worn. Easy to install.

Good 11sp chain to match my ultegra drivetrain. Exactly as advertised. Enough links for my 5236 midcompact with an 11-30 at the rear.

The chain was very noisy. At first I thought it was front derailleur rub but not the case. The chain would also occasionally sound as if it was jumping a cog. It was a bit quieter with a ton of lube but still not acceptable. The chain direction was correct and even after 700 miles it never stopped. I think I'm going to try a Sram 1170.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A nice chain to replace my current one on a cobbled together 105/Ultegra setup. These seem to last me anywhere from 500-1,000 miles for a great price.

The only chain I use

I have this chain on several bikes and it works great. It also lasts quite a while although I don't tract mileage on my chains. I do take care of them however. Lube when necessary. On the rain bike, WD-40 to displace the water and chain lube for it's intended purpose.

general riding in all kinds of weather with great success

Great chain easy to install prompt delivery

The real deal. Genuine Shimano, no fake stuff here. And at a fair price.

I have run both the SRAM Force 22 and the Ultegra HG701on my 11speed Shimano Ultegra. The Ultegra/XT runs much quieter even when I have a SRAM cassette mounted.

Been buying this chain for years. I bike 12000+ miles a year and this chain holds up so well.

All I use on all my bikes is ultegra shimano chains. They do there job well and are somewhat affordable compared to others.

Great wear and reliability. Comes with a convenient quick-link too.

This is the perfect chain for my needs. Super high quality without breaking the bank.

Chains still stored in my bike closet. Shimano bike chains have always served me well.

This chain moves my rear tire when I pedal and has a lot of shiny links. I highly recommend it.

I got this to replace the stretched out KMC chain that came with my Ultegra gearset. I figured Shimano chain with Schimano gears must be good. Installation was a breeze, the only issue was some occasional clicking the first hundred miles or so as the chain wore into the teeth, I'm guessing. Couple thousand miles now and no stretching, though I am keeping this one better cleaned and lubed than my old one.

I especially like the quick link to join the chain ends after sizing. Its not reusable (per Shimano) but it seems to be more foolproof than using a pin like older models required.

Ill use this chain when I need a replacement too.
