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 I’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 | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017SOHPBC | | Best Sellers Rank | 40,429 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 99 in Cycling Chains | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,832 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228910423, 04524667745860 | | Included Components | Bike Parts | | Item Length | 295 Centimetres | | Item Type Name | Bike Parts | | Item Weight | 251 Grams | | Item length | 295 Centimetres | | Load Capacity | 3E+2 N | | Load capacity | 3E+2 N | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | CNHG901116 | | Model Number | CNHG901116 | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Recommended Uses For Product | Mountain biking, road biking, high-performance cycling | | Recommended uses for product | Mountain biking, road biking, high-performance cycling | | Strand Type | 11-Speed | | Strand type | 11-Speed | | UPC | 880882111984 689228745865 689228910423 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## 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.
