Why We Like The Shimano XTR/Dura-Ace CN-HG901 11-Speed Chain
The XTR/Dura-Ace CN-HG901 Chain keeps our bikes shifting with precision, and pairs brilliantly with Shimano's top-notch XTR and Dura-Ace 11-speed drivetrains. This model features a revised plate profile that's compatible with E-bikes and single-speed applications. The chain's slight asymmetry pairs perfectly with Shimano's 9000 series drivetrains for silky-smooth gear shifts and greater power transfer, and the low-friction SIL-TEC treatment glides across your cassette's cogs with minimal friction. Ultimately, this allows you to focus on riding without worrying about your chain keeping up with rapid shifting and high-cadence efforts.

Great performance
I have only used the chain for a few weeks so I do not know how long it’ll last, which is a huge factor. The performance is great, probably the best I’ve used.

Light, durable, and watt-saving

This is not my first time using this chain and I’ve never had any issues using them for thousands of miles on paved and gravel roads. This is a light Shimano chain that is easy to size and install. Reportedly rates well in terms of decreased friction, saving a little over one watt in tests. You do pay for these benefits however.
