The workhorse 11-speed chain.
The HG701 sits at the Ultegra and XT tier of Shimano's chain range and is our default recommendation for 11-speed road, gravel and MTB drivetrains. SIL-TEC surface treatment reduces friction and extends life meaningfully over 105/SLX chains, at a sensible step below Dura-Ace/XTR pricing.
Why We Chose This for Our Customers:
- SIL-TEC coating on inner and outer plates for low friction and durability
- Asymmetric HG-X11 design for consistent shifting performance
- Compatible with all Shimano 11-speed road and MTB drivetrains, including e-bikes
- 116 links version, Quick-Link connector included
- Approximate weight: 257g
Fitment: All Shimano 11-speed drivetrains: road, MTB, gravel, e-bike. Also compatible with SRAM 11-speed.
Ideal for: Any rider replacing a worn 11-speed chain who wants a meaningful step up from 105-level.
