This chain is simply great. It is light, durable, and smooth. I run these with Silca wax and they are noiseless.
Review by Boo Cyclist
I don't like getting the cheapest chains for my bike. The Ultegra chain has a special surface treatment for higher performance and longer life, which leads to a better value. Performs, as advertised!
Review by Carmi
I could not find a 11 speed chain on the internet and our local bike store that is a specialized dealer has pretty much shut down do to the fact that they can't get anything from specialized bikes..... so I was grateful to find the the chain through Buke Tire Direct who I've always had a great ordering experience with for anything bicycling related. Thank you
Always reliable

Love it but nothing much different from Ultegra
Review by j.c.
this is one of those parts that you will notice more if it dose not work, because you put it on and expect to forget it till you need to replace it. I would buy it again.

Its the best chain for Shimano drive trains. I stripped off the factory grease, applied a dry wax-based lube and installed on a Dura-Ace Di2 groupset. Works flawlessly as expected. Great price and not much of a premium over the Ultegra chain.
Review by Maui Mikie
Shimano makes good chains that work well as long as you're religious about keeping them lubed. I use dyno juice as the wax crap gums up the chain, chain rings and cassette. Wipe down and lube every 100 miles and you'll get at least 2,000 miles before having to replace due to stretching.

Best chain for crisp shifting
Review by John
As many know, this is a hollow pin chain made for Shimano by KMC chains. Its great durability and seems to outlast my last chian which was an Ultegra 11 speed. So far 4000 mikes on the dura ace chain completely stripped and using Silca chain wax. Rides like Buttah....lol

This could be the lightest chain on the market but as a result may not last as long as a heavier model.

This chain is great for the style of riding that I do. No complaints from me.

It's dura-ace. It is a great chain.
Review by Six-O
Shimano is a good, predictable chain. It lasts as long as more expensive competitors. Shimano is now including a quick-link instead of a connecting pin. Most will probably like that. I find it easier to join the chain with a pin than with the quick-link. I have tools for both methods. And you still need a chain pin tool to shorten a new chain to its proper length.

CHAIN IS SMOOTH - BUT QUICK LINK REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT WITHOUT TOOL

Exactly what I expected. And fast delivery!

Road use on Ultegra drivetrain
Review by Longhorn
Now that Shimano offers a quick link, all you need is a chain breaker for a quick (reliable) chain replacement.
Buy a Park Tools chain checker, and replace at 0.5. Your drivetrain will thank you!
