Shimano XTR / Dura-Ace / E-bike Quick-Link CN-M9100 12-speed Chain

The XTR CN-M9100 12-speed chain by Shimano - enlarged inner plates

The Shimano CN-M9100 chain for XTR and Dura-Ace 12-speed has enlarged inner plates which create a perfect connection to the Dynamic Chain Engagement+ chainring. In this way, it contributes significantly to smooth shifting performance. Vibrations are avoided, chain hold is improved and pedalling efficiency is increased (HG technology). The SIL-TEC coating of the outer plates and rollers ensures smoother, low-wear running. CN-M9100 chains come with hollow-formed pins to save weight and are directional. As they are approved for e-bikes, there is also an extra-long version with 138 links. The matching SM-CN910-12 Quick-Link master link is included.

Guidelines for Replacing E-bike Components:

Before you replace components on your e-bike, please read through the guidelines for component replacement for CE-marked e-bikes/pedelecs with pedal assistance.

Technology:

HG 12-speed for Hyperglide+
Shimano Hyperglide (HG) 12-speed chains have enlarged inner plates designed to work with Hyperglide+ cassettes and Dynamic Chain Engagement+ chainrings. This prevents vibrations when the chainring and chain come into contact, resulting in improved chain retention. In combination with an HG+ 12-speed cassette, shifting and drive efficiency are increased. This also benefits the service life of the chain. HG 12-speed chains are directional, i.e. they have an asymmetrical design and thus a predefined installation direction.

SIL-TEC
SIL-TEC is a fluorine particle-based surface coating from Shimano. It results in smoother, lower friction operation and less contamination. This makes maintenance easier, reduces wear and extends the service life of SIL-TEC components.
