Designed specifically for Shimano’s 11-speed drivetrains, it includes a quick link for easy installation and delivers superior durability, reduced noise, and extended chain life—perfect for serious cyclists demanding reliable, high-performance gear. ## Description For 2015, Shimano's 105 groupset got a few high-profile upgrades. It's gone to 11-speed, and now has many of the same crankset technologies seen in Dura-Ace and Ultegra. As you'd expect, changes to the cassette and crankset also necessitate changes to the chain that connects them. Shimano designed the new SLX/105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain as one of the new 11-speed chains from the Japanese manufacturer. The HG601 differs from the HG901 in that it uses solid pins instead of hollow. This amounts to a weight gain of about 0. 08 grams per link, but it also adds to the durability and reliability of the only chain worthy of being associated with the hardworking 105 group. Despite its slightly higher weight, it does receive the same revolutionary new Sil-Tec ultra-low friction treatment as its more expensive sibling. Sil-Tec reduces friction dramatically while also increasing the chain's longevity and decreasing noise. Please note that while it's specifically designed for the new 11-speed 105 5800 and SLX M7000 groupsets, the CN-HG601 chain is also compatible with all of Shimano's 11-speed drivetrains. ## Features - Material: Sil-Tec coating - Links: 126 - Connection: quick link - Compatible Components: Shimano 11-speed drivetrains - Includes: quick link ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HM4R2JD | | Best Sellers Rank | 195,441 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 430 in Cycling Chains | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 239 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00192790378657, 04550170378653 | | Included Components | Bicycle chain | | Item Length | 63 Inches | | Item Type Name | Bicycle chain | | Item length | 63 Inches | | Load Capacity | 2.5E+2 lbf | | Load capacity | 2.5E+2 lbf | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | ICNHG60111126Q | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | Shimano | | Product Warranty | no Manufacturer Guarantee | | Recommended Uses For Product | power transmission in bicycles | | Recommended uses for product | power transmission in bicycles | | Specification Met | Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Schmiermittel erforderlich | | Specification met | Korrosionsbeständigkeit, Schmiermittel erforderlich | | Strand Type | Single | | UPC | 192790378657 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Load capacity:** 2.5E+2 lbf - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Recommended uses for product:** power transmission in bicycles - **Item length:** 63 Inches ## Images ![SHIMANO SLX/105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4193-P8IWpL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a master link?** A: Yes, it comes with a Shimano quick link. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***. on 13 August 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***C on 12 March 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***L on 21 August 2023* ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano SLX/105 CN-HG601 11-Speed Chain Grey, 126 Links - Shimano 105 CS-HG700 11-Speed Cassette, 11-34T One Size,Silver,ICSHG70011134 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/243189806-shimano-slx-105-cn-hg601-11-speed-chain](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/243189806-shimano-slx-105-cn-hg601-11-speed-chain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
