Reviews over the

Shimano Ultegra & XT HG-701

The Shimano 11 speed chain of Ultegra quality has high wear resistance, long life and with the "quick release" easy to change and mount. It is a relatively expensive chain. On the other hand, it is a chain of quality.

Pros & Cons

This chain is long lasting and high quality. The chain is easy to install yourself thanks to the quick-link.

Pros & Cons

No problems with it yet+ the change link with it is very practical.

Second chain on my racer. Quiet and accurate shifting. Replaced in time when the chain starts to get noisier.

Pros & Cons

For years with the same kind of cassette and chain Shimano Ultegra&XT. And for years thickly satisfied with the quality of these products. Many kilometers without problems. But of course on time maintenance as it should be.

Pros & Cons

prime quality

Pros & Cons

For those looking for a decent chain, stop searching here. The Shimano HG-701 11 stands its ground in all areas that a chain should meet! It is not the lightest chain ever, nor the most durable, but it is by far the best in its price class!

Pros & Cons

I swear by shimano chain on road bike and MTB, is top quality for reasonable price

Pros & Cons

Just good and easy to assemble. Runs smooth and soft.

Pros & Cons

The previous one lasted 2000km on the MTB, which I think is a respectable distance for a chain. A KMC chain lasts even longer, but I find it too noisy compared to Shimano.

Pros & Cons

Good chain. Easy to assemble with the missing link

Pros & Cons

Fine chain

Pros & Cons

Chain shifts well, does what it is supposed to do. Package includes 1 quick link to mount your chain.

Pros & Cons

Easy to install but above all top service from mantle

Remains the reference among bicycle chain locks. Price-quality ratio undisputed leader.

Pros & Cons

easy to assemble chain. runs fine

Pros & Cons

The chain meets my expectations and the description.

Easy to install, abetted by XT M8000 11-speed 11-46 sprocket cassette, excellent matching. It would be good to include an extra Quick link in the package.

Pros & Cons

Excellent necklace. Good quality for a nice price. With masterlink included you have it installed in no time.

Pros & Cons

Zoals steeds vlotte levering bij Mantel. Het bijgeleverde kettingslot ging wel wat stroef om goed te sluiten , maar is gelukt.

This type of chain, already used in the past, is extremely durable. The quick-release fastener makes chain installation and cleaning a breeze!

Pros & Cons

No more kmc chain in stock so this one only

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Nice price/quality. For me it was the first time I put a chain on my racing bike myself. I measured the chain length based on the old chain, not realizing that a Quicklink does not fit every link of a chain. In the end it did work, but with 2 links less than my previous chain and fortunately I still have the full range of my rear cassette. Perhaps Mantel could provide useful video-tips for these kinds of accessories?

Pros & Cons

The quick link makes this easy to install for anyone.

Pros & Cons

Quality chain with quicklink

Pros & Cons

Good chain for now. On to the next 4,000 km.

Great chain, does what it needs to do. The quick link is very difficult to open.

Pros & Cons

Quality component, Reliable, Will use again

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Good chain and very handing that you don't have to order the quicklink separately

Good chain

Runs very badly, otherwise always KMC. Removed chain again and hung in the shed for decoration, waste of money.

Pros & Cons

good quality easy to assemble fast delivery

Pros & Cons

Excellent product. Good value for money. Easy to mount with quick-link. Not the lightest chain. Durable (over 4000 km with

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

I really have nothing to complain about, but since I have not compared the chain with competitors' similar products, I do not want to give the highest rating. Perhaps an unreasonable reasoning as I have used Shimano's various chains for over 15 years For road bike and mtb and never had any problems but rather always satisfied = highest rating. The chain is durable and reliable, shifts superbly and runs mechanically silent - Something that is important to me. By the way, I use Kmc's quicklink chain link. Finally: clean properly and lubricate the chain regularly and it will last longer :)

Pros & Cons

The quick link is for one-time use only. With that, basically useless. But chain is fine.

Pros & Cons

Excellent shifting quality and strong durability. Cannot notice the difference between this and the Dura Ace one and this is a decent amount cheaper. Highly recommended

Bought as a spare as it was so cheap

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Usual Shimano quality Usual cheap price and quick delivery from Mantel Happy And bike now shifts properly

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit speedy delivery well packagec

Pros & Cons

Fast chain and easy to clean with quick link option.

Pros & Cons

Stuck with Shimano for best shifting to match the rest of the XT chainset. All new cassette and rings throughout.
