Shimano Ultegra / XT CN-HG701 Chain With Quik Link

The Shimano CN-HG701 11-speed Quick-Link chain is held together by a master link, unlike the chain pin version. The SIL-TEC coating, based on fluorine particles and applied to inner and outer plates, ensures more efficiency, less wear and less noise. CN-HG701-11 chains are also suitable for e-bike use and are generally recommended for Ultegra and XT groupsets.

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.
