Shimano HG71 6/7/8 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 city bike. This chain is specifically designed to work optimally with Shimano Hyperglide (HG) cassettes and sprockets. The special shape 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 central to the CN-HG71. Shimano has ensured a robust construction with a chromizing treatment on the pins and heat treatment of the rollers, pins, and plates. These treatments improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance, resulting in a longer chain life. In addition, the unique "mushrooming" of the pins provides unparalleled retention of the side plates, allowing the chain to far exceed the BS/ISO standard for breaking force.

What makes the HG71 chain extra versatile is its official approval for use on e-bikes. This makes it an excellent option for anyone who uses powerful assistance and still needs a reliable and smoothly shifting bicycle chain. With a standard 116 links, the chain is ready for immediate installation on most bicycles, and for convenience, a Quick Link (if supplied by the vendor) is often the easiest option for tool-free installation. Always check the required number of links for your specific bicycle.
