SHIMANOBicycle Chain Cn-Hg601-11 for 11-Speed (Road/MTB/E-Bike Compatible) 126 Links (W/Quick Link Sm-Cn900-11) Bicycle Chains

Works great

Excellent quality. As advertised.

This chain is holding up really well after more than 700 miles of riding. Will buy again

It's a chain that makes the wheels go 'round. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's noticeably quieter than the new KMC chain I bought at the same time. (Comparing when both are freshly waxed.) The Shimano is essentially silent, while the KMC is only "quiet". That seems to imply that the design is different in a significant enough way that makes some difference even though I'm not using it on a Shimano crank and cassette. Note that this is a uni-directional chain and the quick link is not rated for reuse, but most people seem to have no problem reusing it several times. I'll probably replace the quick link after several waxes.

Very strong and seems legit alongside my original chain. But with confidence that it’s the real deal.

Once I figured out a technique for getting the quick link to snap into place, it was easy. The technique is to stand over the bike, hold both brakes, and step down on one pedal. There were no instructions for getting the link to snap tight.

Looks like genuine Shimano.

Very good
