Shimano CN-HG701 11 Speed Chain Ultegra/XT

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.

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.

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 !

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

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

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.

Easy to install, super smooth shifting.

Replaced the chain as part of my spring cleaning and tuning process.

Great product. Works great with my Ultegra derailleurs and cassettes. But when you screw up the chain length, you will need either 1or 2 extra connecting pins, depending on whether it is too long or short, respectively.

The ultegra chain is fairly light and smooth shifting.
