Shimano Ultegra CN-6701 Chain
Shimano Ultegra CN-6701 Chain Info
The Shimano Ultegra CN-6701 Chain is built around a straightforward idea: cleaner shifts come from smarter plate geometry, not just tighter tolerances. Shimano redesigned both the inner and outer plates with asymmetric chamfers — different profiles on each side to account for the distinct mechanics of shifting inward toward the cassette versus outward toward the larger sprockets. The result is a chain that moves across the drivetrain with less hesitation and more consistency.
The enhanced press-in pin construction keeps the chain stable under load, reducing lateral flex where it matters most — during hard pedaling efforts when sloppy chain movement costs you power and smooth engagement. At 10 speeds, the CN-6701 is designed to work within Shimano's 10-speed drivetrain ecosystem, maintaining the tight clearances that precise shifting demands.
