Shimano XT/Ultegra chain, CN-M8100126Q, 12-speed

The CN-M8100 chain is specially designed for the M8100 chainrings and cassettes. Thanks to cut-outs on the inside of the plates, the chain harmonizes perfectly with the Dynamic Chain Engagement+ (DCE+) Narrow-Wide tooth profiles of the new Deore XT chainrings. The design results in a tighter fit of the chain on the teeth. Vibrations are avoided and the smoother chain run is not only noticeable when pedaling, but also manifests itself acoustically through a quieter drivetrain. Thanks to a new chromed surface in combination with the proven SIL-TEC coating, the service life of the chain has been kept at the same level as the M8000 chain, despite the smaller outer width.

The Shimano CN-M8100 chain offers better chain retention thanks to enlarged inner plates. The new chain has a Quick-Link chain lock and a Sil-Tec coating for a longer service life in off-road conditions.
