The Shimano CN-HG601 11-speed Quick-Link chain is mounted with a master link, not with a chain pin like an earlier version. It is the perfect choice for 105 and SLX groupsets and can also be used with E-bikes. The durability of the super slim chain is no less than that of 10-speed chains. Since it was developed in combination with other drivetrain components, it ensures optimum power transmission in a 1x, 2x or 3x system. The friction-minimizing SIL-TEC coating is used on the inner plates.

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-HG601-11 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.
