## Overview

The Shimano CN-6701-10 is a high-performance 10-speed bicycle chain featuring 116 redesigned links with advanced inner and outer plates for smoother, more reliable shifting. Engineered with Shimano’s Hyper-Glide system, it guarantees seamless integration with Shimano and compatible drivetrains, delivering durable, stable power transmission for serious cyclists.

## Description

Run the Shimano Ultegra CN-6701 Chain in between the twister and the twistee for reliable, fast-shifting performance thanks to the innovative Hyper-Glide system. Shift pins and ramps on Shimano chainrings and cassettes mesh perfectly with the Ultegra chain, ensuring you won't miss a shift when riding aggressively.

Review: Great quality, lasts a long time - The Ultegra chain is a solid piece of machinery. Smooth shifts and seamless integration with the rest of the drivetrain components — even if they aren't Shimano Ultegra. Interestingly, I have this chain on a SRAM 50/34 crankset with Ultegra Deraillerus and an Ultegra 11-28 cassette. No issues whatsoever. Everything shifts buttery smooth, once you get it all dialed in. These chains long time, though I swap mine out every few years to keep the rest of the drivetrain fresh. Only complaint? I wish this chain used a masterlink for easier install and repair, especially if you're out on the road. Instead, it has a connecting pin and you'll need a chain link tool to install. They are not expensive and super easy to use. Just YouTube the process.
Review: decent value - solid replacement

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this chain on a campagnolo 10-speed drive train?  i currently use sram chains as i am not happy with the campy chains.**
A: yes.  The Shimano chains come with a chain pin rather than a masterlink.  So rather than the tiny pliers needed for that,  you need a chain tool to break the chain ( when removing ), to shorten a new chain, and to insert the pin.  Regular household pliers are used to break off the excess pin once it is installed

**Q: What is the length of this chain?**
A: I believe the chain is available in 112, 114, and 116 link lengths. Check the product specs to be sure what length. As long as you don't need something longer than 112 links it doesn't matter since you can remove unneeded links before installation,

**Q: Will this fit the Shimano M552 crankset? Thanks.**
A: Since the Shimano's Technical Documentation (http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/FC/SI_1LV0A/SI-1LV0A-002-ENG_v1_m56577569830755772.pdf) recommends using either the CN-HG94 or CN-HG74 with the M552 crank set, that's what I'd go with.

**Q: can i use ultegra 6600 10 speed cassettes with 6700 hubs and drivetrain?  i like some of the old ratios...**
A: BTW. Any 10spd chain will work really. Shimano and KMC shift on Shimano stuff the best though in my opinion.

I haven't installed the cassette yet, but it is labeled as the correct one for my 14 year old S-Works bike. I have used this 6700 11-28 for several replacements of the original and very expensive DuraAce (about $150 more). No reason to spend the extra unless you are racing and a weight wennie. Don't bother asking me about compatibility to your bike, I won't know (too many options). Ask: your bike shop, google, or YouTube
