Shimano SLX / E-Bike Quick-Link CN-M7100 12-speed Chain

With the SLX CN-M7100 chain by Shimano it's easy to ride over sticks, stones and more

The Shimano SLX CN-M7100 12-speed chain has been fundamentally revised to form a central component of the SLX M7100 groupset. High-precision moulded contact surfaces to chainring and cassette teeth ensure fast, but also precise and smooth shifting up and down. Shifting with the CN-M7100 chain works perfectly even under load.

Technology:

HG
The 12-speed HG chain delivers smooth power transfer with a tighter chain guide and a quieter and smoother drive thanks to larger parts on the end of the inner plates, in combination with the Dynamic Chain Engagement Plus crank or chainring. The combination with Hyperglide+ facilitates shifting without interrupting pedalling.

Directional
The CN-M7100 chain has an asymmetrical design. This means the running direction must be observed during installation. The specially-shaped tabs optimise engagement on the sprocket and result in even smoother shifting, even under load. To save weight, these chains have recesses on the inner link plates. The side with the marking is the outside.
