Shimano CN-HG701-11 Quick-Link Ultegra / XT chain The Shimano CN-HG701 11-speed Quick-Link chain is, unlike the chain pin version, held together by a master link. The SIL-TEC coating, based on fluorine particles and applied to inner and outer plates, provides greater efficiency, less wear and tear and less noise. CN-HG701-11 chains are also suitable for E-bike use and are generally recommended for Ultegra and XT groupsets. There is a directional connection, therefore care must be taken during installation. Features: - super narrow, directional HG-X11 chain for 1x11, 2x11, 3x11 - smooth and reliable shifting performance - more efficient, quieter, less maintenance thanks to SIL-TEC surface coating on outer and inner plates - reinforced chain for E-bike use - newly dimensioned plates - version with master link - performance indicator: advanced (level 2 out of 3)
