Solidity linked together by Shimano

- Michaël, 29 January, 2021

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

- 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.

Fine handy necklace

- Pieter, 8 October, 2020

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?

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 :)

Quiet
Reliable
Shifts well
