Road and MTB chain Shimano Dura Ace XTR CN-M9100 12v 126 maillons Quick Link - ICNM9100126Q

The Shimano CN-M9100 chain is a must-have for demanding cyclists looking for a smooth, fast and durable drivetrain. Developed for the top-of-the-range Shimano Dura-Ace and XTR 12-speed groupsets, it features Hyperglide+ technology that significantly improves the quality of gear changes, even under heavy load. Designed for both road and mountain bikes, it guarantees quiet, precise, high-performance pedalling on all types of terrain.

Thanks to its specific profile and enlarged internal plates, the CN-M9100 optimises engagement with Shimano 12-speed chainrings and sprockets. This design reduces vibration, improves chain retention and promotes faster gear shifting than with previous generations. The SIL-TEC surface treatment applied to the links and rollers helps to reduce friction while increasing the transmission's longevity.

This version is supplied at 126 maillons with a Shimano SM-CN910-12 Quick Link, making assembly quick and easy. The directional design and hollow axles provide an excellent balance between lightness, rigidity and wear resistance.
