Very good chain, perfect with my GRX820 drivetrain. Used with Squirt, it lasts a long time (Translated review)
Good quality chain, easy to install with the quick attachment provided. Only issue is since I installed it, I've had a problem with skipping gears on the small cog and creaking on the large cogs? Yet no issue with the old one of the same model! (Translated review)
Very good chain, works very well with my XT transmission. Used with SQUIRT, a bit disappointed by the lifespan, less than 1000km but it depends on usage. (Translated review)
Excellent durability, even on an e-MTB. I just surpassed 2500 km in off-road use. (Translated review)
