Designed specifically for Shimano’s 11-speed drivetrains, it includes a quick link for easy installation and uses solid pins for increased strength, making it a reliable choice for serious cyclists seeking smooth, quiet, and long-lasting performance. ## Description For 2015, Shimano's 105 groupset got a few high-profile upgrades. It's gone to 11-speed, and now has many of the same crankset technologies seen in Dura-Ace and Ultegra. As you'd expect, changes to the cassette and crankset also necessitate changes to the chain that connects them. Shimano designed the new SLX/105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain as one of the new 11-speed chains from the Japanese manufacturer. The HG601 differs from the HG901 in that it uses solid pins instead of hollow. This amounts to a weight gain of about 0. 08 grams per link, but it also adds to the durability and reliability of the only chain worthy of being associated with the hardworking 105 group. Despite its slightly higher weight, it does receive the same revolutionary new Sil-Tec ultra-low friction treatment as its more expensive sibling. Sil-Tec reduces friction dramatically while also increasing the chain's longevity and decreasing noise. Please note that while it's specifically designed for the new 11-speed 105 5800 and SLX M7000 groupsets, the CN-HG601 chain is also compatible with all of Shimano's 11-speed drivetrains. Review: This chain is pretty good and lasts a long long time. I am on my second: my gravel bike came originally with it and it lasted about 1500km with life left on in it before I proactively changed it. I then went through a bunch of KMC chains, which were also nice, but could only do about half that distance and before rapidly failing. I am back on this one now: can't be caught with a bad chain away from home again. This chain is pretty heavy, probably not a good fit for a road bike. Review: I believe this is genuine. Great chain! Durable. Well made. ## Features - Material: Sil-Tec coating - Links: 126 - Connection: quick link - Compatible Components: Shimano 11-speed drivetrains - Includes: quick link ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HM4R2JD | | ASIN | B08HM4R2JD | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,196 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #65 in Bike Drivetrain Components | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (238) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (238) | | Date First Available | 21 September 2020 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00192790378657, 04550170378653 | | Included Components | Bicycle chain | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Length | 160.2 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Bicycle chain | | Item model number | Shimano | | Load Capacity | 2.5E+2 kg | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Material Type | sil tec coating | | Model | Shimano | | Part Number | ICNHG60111126Q | | Product Dimensions | 25.4 x 7.62 x 2.54 cm; 308 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | power transmission in bicycles | | Specification Met | Meets Unspecified Industry Standards | | Strand Type | Single | | UPC | 192790378657 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Load capacity:** 2.5E+2 kg - **Material:** sil tec coating - **Recommended uses for product:** power transmission in bicycles - **Specification met:** Meets Unspecified Industry Standards ## Images ![SLX/105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain Grey, 126 Links - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4193-P8IWpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a master link?** A: Yes, it comes with a Shimano quick link. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***. on 13 August 2025* This chain is pretty good and lasts a long long time.
