According to the product specialist
Pros
This chain provides reliable shifting performance. |
The durability of this chain is great. |
This is currently the most lightweight, quiet and smoothest shifting chain for your 9 speed Shimano shifting system. |
The weight of this chain is relatively low. |
The chain is very light. |
Due to the use of harder steel with an extra coating, the chain lasts very long. |
Cons
The chain shifts less well than a high-grade chain when there's pressure on the pedals. |
This chain weighs a tad heavy. |
This chain is mounted with a connecting pin, which is not as easy as the missing link on KMC chains. |
The chain is made of harder steel than the original chains. Therefore, the chain can make more noise when cycling. |
