Reviews over the

Shimano Ultegra & XT HG-701

Shimano chain, as per description. Met expectations.

Pros & Cons

I've been riding with this type of chain for years.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Good chain

Quality chain with quicklink

Pros & Cons

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?

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

The link that comes with the chain is especially handy.

Great chain and thanks to the quicklink quick change. Runs like lubricated.

It is a very good option when changing the chain, as Shimano groupsets are compatible.

Just fine. I don't use any other brand and type.

Pros & Cons

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....

Pros & Cons

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.

Great product, easy to change

Runs very badly, otherwise always KMC. Removed chain again and hung in the shed for decoration, waste of money.

Easy to install, abetted by XT M8000 11-speed 11-46 sprocket cassette, excellent matching. It would be good to include an extra Quick link in the package.

Pros & Cons

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!

Pros & Cons

For several years I have been very satisfied with this type of chain. Excellent lifespan of over 4000 km with regular maintenance. Good to keep clean. By means of the quicklink assembly is a piece of cake.

Pros & Cons

Service is ok..product is ok...I ok and satisfied

Wear and tear is minimal. So always good for me

Pros & Cons

I prefer to use an ultegra chain because it's cheaper than the dura ace and I change it more often to keep the same sprocket set (on average 3 chains on 1 cassette).

Pros & Cons

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

Very good chain and a great price

Second chain on my racer. Quiet and accurate shifting. Replaced in time when the chain starts to get noisier.
