Great chain!

I got this chain as a second for my Wifes new bike. I hot wax our chains and have for several years. Having a second chain makes it quicker and easier when we are riding alot.

So far these chains have been great!

Thank you for your feedback.

Spend the extra money and go for a Dura-Ace chain

I've used both Ultegra and Dura-Ace chains. The Dura-Ace seems to shift smoother and faster. I don't have empirical evidence to prove it, but it just seems to work better. I wax my chains and have two of them so I can swap out after 300 miles and wax both at the same time. Big time saver.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best chain for my drivetrain

Pay a little more but gets better shifting and lighter than the other 12 sp chains. What's not to like.

Thank you for your feedback.

Worth the upgrade

I find that the M9100 chain shifts better. Your call on whether it is worth the extra cost.

Thank you for your feedback.

Shimano excellence

Decided to purchase this chain instead of the usual XT level chain. There is definitely a difference in shifting and seemingly durability for the first 300 miles. We'll wait and see how it holds up in the future. But I love Shimano products

Thank you for your feedback.

Light and hard-wearing

XTR chains give me smooth shifting, excellent durability while keeping drivetrain weight low
