SHIMANO ULTEGRA / XT / E-BIKE CN-HG701-11 11-SPEED CHAIN

Shimano Chain CN-HG701-11 – recommended for Ultegra, XT and STEPS

The Shimano 11-speed chain CN-HG701-11 is a directional, high-quality HG-X11 chain that fits Ultegra and XT groupsets perfectly. Thanks to newly dimensioned links, the 138-link version can also be used for e-bikes. CN-HG701-11 chains convince with efficiency, low maintenance and smooth shifting performance, which is not least due to the SIL-TEC surface coating. This is the classic version with chain rivet pin.

Technology:

HG-X11
HG-X11 chains from Shimano are 11-speed chains with directional binding. The outside has been optimised for shifting the chainring, the inside for shifting the cassette. This makes for smoother gear changes and higher drivetrain performance overall. Since correct assembly is crucial, Shimano has marked the sides of the chain.

SIL-TEC
SIL-TEC is a fluorine particle-based surface coating from Shimano. It results in smoother, lower friction operation and less contamination. This makes maintenance easier, reduces wear and extends the service life of SIL-TEC components.
