Design
Directional (HG-X11)
The Shimano CN-HG701-11 is a directional 11-speed chain with SIL-TEC treatment on the roller link plates and pin link plates for extra durability. Its right and left sides are shaped for front and rear shifting, so it has to be fitted the right way round.
It is reinforced for e-bike use, and Shimano lists it for both HG and LINKGLIDE 11-speed systems. This one is 126 links with a Quick-Link connector, so most bikes will need it shortened to fit.
Riders and e-bike owners on an 11-speed drivetrain who want a reinforced Shimano chain that suits road, MTB and e-bike use.
Directional HG-X11 design
Right and left sides are optimised for front and rear shifting, for smooth and reliable shifting performance.
SIL-TEC treatment
A low-friction surface treatment on the roller link and pin link plates for increased durability. Shimano describes the chain as more efficient and silent, with less maintenance.
Reinforced for e-bikes
A new chain plate dimension and a reinforced design make it compatible with 11-speed road, MTB and e-bike drivetrains.
Quick-Link included
Supplied at 126 links with a Quick-Link connector for joining the chain.
Every detail as listed by the manufacturer.
