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

Your chain is probably the first part to wear out on your bike, so why not treat yourself to a little weight-saving upgrade? These last a long time provided that you don't let them rust...which will happen if you ride in the rain with a dry lube that washes off. I dock Shimano a value rating star for packing it with their single-use Quicklink. You have to buy a reusable one separately if you need to take the chain off.

I used this 11-speed chain with FSA chainrings and Ultegra rear mech to replace my stretched one. The value is worth the upgrade for the weight weenies since it saves a few grams from the 105 or Tiagra chain with hollow pins and rollers. Comes with a quick link for easy installation.

I'm running this chain with Force derailleurs and Shimano cassette and chainrings. Shifting is crisp, and the chain shows minimal stretchwear after 2500 miles. Just be sure to clean and lube the chain regularly. Also, the master link made chain installation easy, I set it up just as I've always done with other brands' chains and didn't need a special tool.

Shimano Dura ace chains work properly a word of caution buy from a reputable dealer. I got a chain off of Amazon that came in Shimano packaging. That was a counterfeit.

Put this on my 11 speed Ultegra Di2 bike to replace another brand chain that broke after a few months of riding. This chain is light, shifts great, and has lasted for 9 months of Colorado riding so far.

The Dura-Ace/XTR chain is noticeably quieter and smoother than the Ultegra chain for only a few dollars more.

This is an amazing option/upgrade. I am currently running this dura-ace chain with a 105 groupset and it works flawlessly. It also runs very smoothly and quiet as a waxed chain!

Best chain I've used.

Been using these for decades. Not as durable as Ultegra chains, but durable enough if you take care of them.

Always a good day when you get to put a new chain on.

Use: Road cycling

Lite weight, longevity.

Outstanding chain for my 11 speed Shimano Group Set.

comes with quick release and good initial chain lube.

don't forget to read instructions for installation orientation

The dura ace chain was tested by Friction Facts as the lowest drag productive chain- and its not an expensive upgrade to get another f Er watt or so - so I stick with the dura ace chains for both my race bikes and even on my non race bikes

Great chain! Great price at BTD. Quiet, smooth shifting & nickel plating makes em easier to keep clean (also looks great).

According to a high end Chain Treater that processes multiple brands, this is the fastest. Being Shimano's top-of-the-line Chain that's rated for Road, Mtn, and E-Bikes, I know it'll handle the loads. With the Quick-Link it's everything I need, I just give it a coat of Wax for great performance.

this is one of those parts that you will notice more if it dose not work, because you put it on and expect to forget it till you need to replace it. I would buy it again.

like the dura-ace version on my ultegra gruppo - don't care about the weight just like smoother shifting on a pre-electronic system!

Bought this for my indoor trainer. Works great.

This chain is simply great. It is light, durable, and smooth. I run these with Silca wax and they are noiseless.
