Catena per bicicletta Shimano CN-HG701-11 nero 257g

The Shimano CN-HG701-11 is an 11-speed, super-narrow bicycle chain designed for road, mountain and e-bike drivetrains. Finished in black and weighing 257 g, this directional chain uses Shimano's SIL-TEC surface treatment on both the roller link plate and the pin link plate to improve durability and maintain smooth shifting performance under load.

Advantages

The SIL-TEC treatment reduces friction and increases wear resistance on critical contact surfaces. The chain's directional design and Hyperglide-compatible profile ensure reliable, precise gear changes on 11-speed cassettes. Reinforced construction makes it suitable for the increased torque demands of E-BIKE systems while keeping weight low at 257 g.

Suitable for

• 11-speed road bikes
• 11-speed mountain bikes (MTB)
• E-BIKEs with 11-speed drivetrains

How to use

Install the chain in the direction indicated by the directional links, following the bicycle manufacturer's torque and routing recommendations. Use the correct chain length for your drivetrain by sizing against the largest chainring and largest cassette cog or following the bike maker's procedure. Use a compatible quick link or pin supplied for 11-speed chains and ensure the chain is properly joined and riveted. After installation, check shifting across all gears and make small adjustments to derailleur limit screws and cable tension if necessary.

Recommendations

Maintain the chain with regular cleaning and lubrication appropriate for SIL-TEC treated surfaces. Inspect for wear and replace the chain when elongation exceeds the manufacturer's wear limits to preserve cassette and chainring life, especially on E-BIKE applications where torque is higher.
