Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very durable and last long time. Shifts smooth and fairly light. If you ride many miles, you know that you shifting and reliability decreases as your chain stretches!

Installation is super easy with the quick link connector. Easy to install with the right tools. Only problem is the quicklink won't just snap into place by using pedal torque.

This chain has been purchased for as low as $26. My drivetrain is a shimano xt 1x11 (32 x 11-42). Real #s and this chain weighs 251 grams, after being sized to my drivetrain.

Quality

Good installation instructions and quality, after visual inspection, is also good.

The chain is as advertised and very durable.

I have never seen a chain break like this, with an additional crack, in this manner, and after a short amount of time/miles pedaled.

I highly recommend buying the chain pliers, as the usual hacks failed to produce enough force to snap the quick-link in place, ... Read More

Price

This chain has been purchased for as low as $26.

You can find this product elsewhere for half the price amazon is asking.

Rating: this chain is a good value at $26.

However, this adds to the cost of using this chain.

Shipping

The supplied quick link is a plus.

Value for money and fast efficient delivery.

It's good no problems arrived on time

Shipping was a little slower than usual from amazon but faster than most other online retailers.

Competitiveness

Shimano compatibility: as a shimano enthusiast, i appreciate that this chain pairs flawlessly with shimano components.

The pattern of links does not match an authentic shimano chain, as researched online.

I recommend this chain to anyone who is using a comparable drivetrain, especially if you can pick it up at or near the $26.
