THE SHIMANO XT CN-M8100 CHAIN LETS YOU PERFORM SMOOTH MANOEUVRES ON ROUGH TERRAIN.

The Shimano XT CN-M8100 12-speed chain is a central component of the XT M8100 and Ultegra R8100 groupset, which is why it's been optimised from the ground up. High-precision moulded contact surfaces to the chainring and cassette ensure precise, fast and smooth shifting in both directions, even under load. In addition, the CN-M8100 chain has chromed inner plates that noticeably increase durability.

TECHNOLOGY

HG 12-speed for Hyperglide+
Shimano Hyperglide (HG) 12-speed chains have enlarged inner plates designed to work with Hyperglide+ cassettes and Dynamic Chain Engagement+ chainrings. This prevents vibrations when the chainring and chain come into contact, resulting in improved chain retention. In combination with an HG+ 12-speed cassette, shifting and drive efficiency are increased. This also benefits the service life of the chain. HG 12-speed chains are directional, i.e. they have an asymmetrical design and thus a predefined installation direction.
