Shimano CN-M8100 12 Speed ​​Compatible Bicycle Chain 126 Links ICNM8100126Q

Just as mountain bikes and riders are constantly evolving, Shimano is constantly striving to offer athletes innovative materials for a unique riding experience. The XT M8100 series was developed for these typical mountain bikers who want to explore new adventures and adapt – typically Shimano – technologies of the top-tier XTR group. These innovations include the 12-speed drivetrain, Micro Spline and Hyperglide+, which have already been proven in the Deore XT series.

The Shimano XT CN-M8100 chain is a new development and, thanks to its precisely shaped contact surfaces, ensures fast, precise and smooth shifting of the Dynamic Chain Engagement + chainring and the Hyperglide + cassette teeth in both directions, even under the highest loads. In addition, the SIL-TEC coated inner plates visibly increase durability. E-Bike compatible.

Technologies:

SIL-TEC: With this coating method newly discovered by Shimano, an extremely low friction surface has been achieved. SIL-TEC is a superior, modern coating method that increases system performance by using embedded fluoride particles. SIL – TEC ensures that products operate smoothly and wear less under all conditions.

HG:
The 12-speed HG chain, in combination with a Dynamic Chain Engagement Plus crank or chainring, ensures smooth power transfer and a quieter and smoother drivetrain with tighter chain guidance thanks to larger parts at the ends of the inner plates. And in combination with Hyperglide+, it is possible to change gears without interrupting pedaling.

Mounting Direction :
The CN-M8100 chain has an asymmetrical design. Therefore, the driving direction must be taken into account during assembly. Specially shaped plates optimize the mesh between the sprocket and ensure smoother gear changes even under load. To save weight, these chains have recesses on the inner plates. The marked side is the outer side.
