Shimano Ultegra / XT / E-Bike Quick-Link CN-HG701-11 11-speed Chain

Shimano CN-HG701-11 Quick-Link Ultegra / XT chain - double SIL-TEC coating

The Shimano CN-HG701 11-speed Quick-Link chain is, unlike the chain pin version, held together by a master link. The SIL-TEC coating, based on fluorine particles and applied to inner and outer plates, provides greater efficiency, less wear and tear and less noise. CN-HG701-11 chains are also suitable for E-bike use and are generally recommended for Ultegra and XT groupsets. There is a directional connection, therefore care must be taken during installation.

Technology:

SIL-TEC
Shimano's ultra-low friction surface treatment Superior to simple coating, SIL-TEC is an advanced plating process that improves system performance through the use of imbedded fluorine particles. SIL-TEC products run smoother and wear longer in all conditions.

Directional
The CN-HG701-11 chain has an asymmetrical design. The direction of travel must therefore be taken into account when installing. The specially shaped plates optimise the mesh between sprocket and results in smoother gear changes even under load. To save weight, these chains have recesses in the inner plates. The side with the mark is the outside.
