Runs well yet price may be less.
Wears out rather quickly. KMC lasts longer.

Top chain!
Chain was immediately at the right length which was a coincidence, set up with pins went well. Fine instructions for use.

Smooth strong chain, fast delivery
Recommended chain but not the right length, 116 links is too long for the 105 groupset. Mantel delivered quickly.

Fine chain
With instructional videos (plenty to be found online) easy to assemble. Only on the fastener is an arrow that should be in loop direction, but then the other is in opposite direction anyway....

Fine chain
Fine, lasts reasonably long. Had to change on the road bike after 3500km, when the chain was stretched 0.75

Bo value for money
Always taken this chain, value for money, smooth passages. Could do better in terms of longevity, control with the wear indicator rather quickly at 0.75 only on the road. ps; I avoid chain crossovers, and I'm also a compact rider.

Makkelijke en degelijke ketting
Na-winterse kettingwissel waardoor alles weer soepel draait. Met korting kwam de ketting op nog geen 40 euro uit, perfect!

Fine chain
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.

A chain you can rely on
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.

Solidity linked together by Shimano
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!

Quieter than KMC
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.

Fine handy necklace
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?

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

Min standard chain
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 :)

Good chain with useless quick link (single use)
The quick link is for one-time use only. With that, basically useless. But chain is fine.
