Shimano 105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain

The Shimano HG71 chain is the ideal, reliable choice for cyclists with a 6-, 7-, or 8-speed drivetrain, whether on a road bike, mountain bike, or commuter bike. This chain is specifically designed to work optimally with Shimano Hyperglide (HG) cassettes and sprockets. The special design of the inner plates ensures smooth and precise shifting performance, even under load, which is essential for an enjoyable and efficient cycling experience.

Reliability and durability are important aspects of the CN-HG71. Shimano has ensured a robust construction with a chrome plating treatment on the pins and a heat treatment of the rollers, pins, and plates. These treatments improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance, resulting in a longer lifespan for the bicycle chain. Moreover, the unique "mushroom shape" of the pins provides unparalleled side plate retention, causing the chain to far exceed the BS/ISO standard for breaking strength.

What makes the HG71 chain extra versatile is its official classification for use on e-bikes. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone using powerful assistance but still needing a reliable and smoothly shifting chain. With a standard length of 116 links, the chain is ready for mounting on most bicycles. Always check the required number of links for your specific bicycle.
