Description Extra life for those with an extra cog.
Shimano's Dura Ace / XTR CN-HG901 11-Speed Chain uses an asymmetrical plate design and a SIL-TEC coating to produce a chain that ekes out the highest performance from your 11-speed groupset. The SIL-TEC ultra-low friction plating on the links and rollers makes for a quieter, longer-lasting chain that also sheds mud 30% better than normal zinc-nickel plated chains.
Hollow pins keep the weight low, but the HG-901 design is strong enough to be used in high-torque e-bike applications. Claimed average weight is 246.5 g for 116 links.
Compatible with Dura-Ace R9100 Road Components.

Used this to replace a KMC that just wasn't right, the KMC made noise on my Campy drivetrain, this chain is great, no more noise.

Shimano, always high quality and reasonably priced.

When it comes time to replace my chain, I go between Dura-Ace and Ultegra depending on what's available at a good price. I have been extremely happy with both and wear seems to be about the same. Just keep it lubed (about every 300 miles) and wipe it down after every ride.

Purchased for use in the future.

I purchased the 11-speed chain for future use due to the price being GREAT. Unknown about having to use a special tool that I've may have read about or not. This is my first 11-speed and all my other bikes have 10-speed Dura-Ace or Ultegra components and I'm happy with them.

Excellent chain

One of those non-glamorous non-carbon parts that is so underrated but so essential. Shimano knows WTF they're doing, and this chain is perfect. Works slick with my Ultegra groupset.

I use these chains on my road and mtb shimano equipped bikes. The Pin seems to work well, and I carry a master link in case of an emergency.

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
