Features
Though the new naming convention eschews model titles, it's safe to
assume that Shimano's CN-HG701 11-Speed Chain is designed with the
balance of function and price found in the Ultegra drivetrain -- even
though it's actually compatible with any of Shimano's 11-speed
drivetrains. As with the other 11-speed chains in Shimano's arsenal, the
HG701 benefits from Shimano's Sil-Tec ultra-low friction treatment on
both the pin link and roller link plates. Sil-Tec dramatically reduces
friction and noise while increasing the chain's longevity, so the HG700
chain runs faster and longer than the HG600 chain, which only has
Sil-Tec treatment on its roller link plate. Conversely, it makes
concessions to the HG900 chain, which adds Sil-Tec to the rollers
themselves for an even smoother ride. The HG701's pins are also solid,
for a claimed weight difference of 10 grams compared to the HG900.
Please note that the CN-HG701 11-Speed Chain is direction-specific. When
properly installed, the Shimano logo on the chain's links will face
away from the bicycle.
