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.

Does what it's supposed to do. Runs nice and quiet on a GRX 810 (the previous chain made some noise). Let's see how long it lasts. It's pretty heavy, hope this means it will last too. We'll see.

Quieter than KMC

- Bosma, 14 January, 2021

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.

Min standard chain

- Robin, 18 July, 2020

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 :)
