Shimano CN-HG701 11 Speed Chain Ultegra/XT

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.

Just put this new chain on. It uses a quick link instead of the old pin technology. That seemed to simplify installation for me.

I'll definitely pick this chain for my the replacement on another bike.

Great value chain that lasts many miles. Always prefer the Ultegra because of price as it's a much better deal than the Dura Ace that provides only a small weight allowance.

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.

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

economical, durable, quality.

will perform better against other similar products,

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

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.

Product as expected and works well !

Shifts just as good as my Dura Ace chain, but a half the price. It's a win win.

As described, plus I like that BTD has other items besides tires. It makes my life easy and the prices are great!

I use this chain on my Trek Madone 6.3 with Di2 Ultegra system. Works great, happy with performance.

I was disappointed in a chain that was recommended by another store, I mixed chain with cassette only because of the quick link on the chain I purchased at the time. Shimano now offers a quick link, thus I replaced my old chain with the Shimano and the chain made a noticeable difference, less noise and cleaner shifts.

When it came time to replace my stock, worn down KMC chain, my mechanic suggested Shimano and a great suggestion it was. The Shimano is so smooth and quiet.

The Ultegra 11 speed chain was just what I need at a great price

This chain include a quick link for connecting the chain, not the usual connecting pin. Unlike quick links made by other manufacturers this one seems to require a special tool to secure the connection. I tried pulling on the chain which works with other brands but I could not get a connection that didn't simply fall apart when the tension was released. Why couldn't they have included an old fashioned connecting pin that requires nothing more than a conventional chain tool?

Three thumbs up for a new smooth running & shifting Ultegra chain

As a heavier (190lbs all muscle) cyclist and the fact that I ride a lot of steep hills I tend to go through chains a little faster than the average person. This chain hold up well and I would recommend the Ultegra or the Dura Ace chain. If money is tighter go with the Ultegra.
