I run R8070 Ultegra Di2. This doesn't come with a quicklink, nor was I expecting it to do so. I bought a pair from Decathlon, which work perfectly well. After fitting the chain to size (compact with 11/34), I went for a ride. I was pleasantly surprised with the shift quality, which I expect is down to the asymmetric chain. Shifting seemed smoother, which was quite remarkable given the already superb shift quality. Another commendation is how quiet this chain is. I suspect this is the sil-tec, but compared to my old chain, but I barely realise I'm moving. Even after 150 miles of wear, with a tailwind a couple of days ago (so no wind noise), I was going at 20 mph and the only sound was the slightest hum of the tyres. Truly remarkable, and a marginal gain on efficiency. For the price (a couple of bob more than Ultegra) I think this chain is well worth the money. I really cannot fault it. Just remember to buy your quick link if you want one. Review: Chain - I thought Iā€™d give this a go after using KMCs for quite a few years. Paired with a new DA cassette and some nice Ceramicspeed chain wax stuff it is pretty nice. Lovely shifting, just lovely. ## Features - With direction binding - HG-X chain - Attaches locking pin - Specially designed for 11 speeds - Sil-Tec coated surface ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Part number | CNHG901116 | | Item Weight | 251 g | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 cm; 251 g | | Item model number | CNHG901116 | | Size | 11-speed | | Colour | Standard | | Style | Single | | Pattern | Single | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Included components | Bike Parts | | Batteries included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Product Details - **Load capacity:** 3E+2 N - **Brand:** Shimano - **Recommended uses for product:** Mountain biking, road biking, high-performance cycling - **Item length:** 295 Centimetres - **UPC:** 880882111984 689228745865 689228910423 ## Images ![Shimano CN-HG901 11-Speed 116 Link Sil-Tec Chain - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q4aoPWiyL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this chain have a master link?** A: The chain I received came with two snap-off pins, which will require a chain tool for installation. **Q: what is the chain wiight in grams?** A: Our distributor's website just says 247. I'm assuming that's grams. **Q: Is this compatible with 105-5800?** A: Yes, as long as it's 11 speed **Q: would this work with an altegra 14-28 cassette?** A: Yes. I've actually used it with that specific cassette and it worked great!!! ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Well worth the money, silent and smooth chain. *by N***D on 11 March 2019* I bought this to replace my original HG701 symmetric Ultegra chain.
