ShimanoDura-Ace/XTR CN-HG901 11-Speed Chain(Return to Product Page)

Gave my Ultegra drivetrain a little more snap. The hollow link pins offer 11 grams off the Ultegra chain, but personally I'm happier about the extra surface area it provides for wax.

When it comes time to replace my chain, I go between Dura-Ace and Ultegra depending on what's available at a good price. I have been extremely happy with both and wear seems to be about the same. Just keep it lubed (about every 300 miles) and wipe it down after every ride.

25 MILES (DAILY)

I ride everyday. Don't want to think about my chain. Don't have to!

A few extra bucks for top end quality.

Easy choice.

One of those non-glamorous non-carbon parts that is so underrated but so essential. Shimano knows WTF they're doing, and this chain is perfect. Works slick with my Ultegra groupset.

I use these chains on my road and mtb shimano equipped bikes. The Pin seems to work well, and I carry a master link in case of an emergency.

My old chain had about 7k miles and while I didn't think it was that worn, this new chain made a noticeable difference in lowering the noise.

My go to chain. It runs quieter, smoother and lasts longer. Hollow pins make it lighter as well.

Great chain equals great shifting, money well spent

Oh-oh, what's a chain got to do, got to do with it?

What's a chain but a second-hand bike part?

Who needs a chain when a chain can be broken?

Get a Dura-Ace chain, it's butter smooth and won't break your heart.

I ride approximately 5,000 mi/yr and refit my mount with a Dura Ace 11sp chain at or around 3,000 miles. How do you not have confidence in Shimano? The rest of you can have Sram, Campy and KMC. I'll stay with ol' blue.

I've been using DA and Ultegra cassettes for 20 years. I typically use Ultegra on my trainer wheel and DA on my road wheel. The DA has outlasted the Ultegra by 21 year in and year out. With a matched DA chain I usually get about 4000 miles of road riding before replacing.

Good combination of reliability, performance and cost. Excellent chain at this price. And Shimano is finally on board with quick links.

Durability not as long as Shimano Ultegra Chains. But prefer to use this as the rest of my bike has Dura Ace components. Lighter than Ulegra.

I love the new quick link - finally!

I purchased the 11-speed chain for future use due to the price being GREAT. Unknown about having to use a special tool that I've may have read about or not. This is my first 11-speed and all my other bikes have 10-speed Dura-Ace or Ultegra components and I'm happy with them.

Likes Well-machined, light, consistent quality, has never failed

Being a avid Shimano fan, this chain does not disappoint. The chain just feels smooth and shifts easily

Reliable, shifts well, works even better when waxed.

Use for bike trainer and lasts for a year at least. Great product.
