The Shimano CN-HG701-11 is a directional 11-speed chain built for road, MTB and e-bike drivetrains. Its reinforced construction is designed to handle the higher demands of e-bike use, while the new chain plate dimension supports dependable drivetrain performance across compatible systems.
The SIL-TEC surface treatment on the roller link plate and pin link plate helps the chain run more efficiently and quietly, with less maintenance. The directional HG-X11 design optimises the right and left sides for front and rear shifting respectively, helping deliver smooth, reliable gear changes when you are riding under load or shifting through a wide range of gears.
At 116 links, it provides useful length for most standard drivetrain installations and can be sized to suit your bike. The included SHIMANO QUICK-LINK makes connection convenient, with tool-free installation possible; dedicated connecting and removal pliers can also be used. The QUICK-LINK is non-reusable, so fit a new one whenever the chain is reconnected with a replacement link.
A strong choice for anyone replacing an 11-speed chain on a road, MTB, gravel, touring or e-bike drivetrain, particularly when quiet running and straightforward installation matter.
