According to the product specialist
Pros
The chain is extremely durable. |
The chain is easy to mount with the missing link. |
Durable and strong chain. |
Runs silently on your Shimano drivetrain. |
Has a durable coating against rusting. |
This light chain assures a fluent shifting experience. |
The chain links are milled out to save the necessary weight. |
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. |
Cons
Since this chain is made of harder material, it’s noisier than chains from SRAM, Campagnolo or Shimano. |
The chain is relatively heavy. |
Only suitable for double and compact chainrings. A triple requires the 6600 chain. |
This chain is mounted with a connecting pin, which is not as easy as the missing link on KMC chains. |
