## Description

CN-HG901 Dura-Ace 9000 / XTR M9000 chain, HG-X11 11-speed, 116L, SIL-TEC

Review: Well worth the money, silent and smooth chain. - I bought this to replace my original HG701 symmetric Ultegra chain. 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.
