Shimano CN-M9100 12-speed chain XTR / Dura-Ace 126 link with quick link

The Shimano CN-M9100 12-speed chain represents Shimano’s top-tier chain technology, developed for XTR mountain bike and Dura-Ace road drivetrains. Engineered for maximum efficiency, durability, and precise shifting, this chain is optimized for Shimano’s Hyperglide+ (HG+) 12-speed systems.

The CN-M9100 features a directional chain design that improves shifting speed and smoothness in both directions, even under high pedaling loads. Shimano’s SIL-TEC surface treatment is applied to the inner plates and rollers to reduce friction, improve drivetrain efficiency, and extend chain life compared to standard coatings.

With 126 links, the chain provides sufficient length for a wide range of setups and can be sized to fit road, gravel, MTB, and e-bike drivetrains. A Shimano Quick Link is included for easy installation and removal.

Silca Pre-Waxed Shimano CN-M9100 XTR / Dura-Ace 12-Speed Chain – 126 Links with Quick Link

The Silca Pre-Waxed Shimano CN-M9100 chain starts with Shimano’s flagship 12-speed chain and is professionally treated by Silca using their hot-melt wax process, delivering significantly reduced friction and improved drivetrain efficiency right out of the box.

Unlike factory lubrication, Silca’s immersive waxing removes the original grease and replaces it with a high-performance wax formula that penetrates deep into the rollers and pins. The result is a chain that runs cleaner, quieter, and more efficiently, with reduced drivetrain wear and less dirt attraction—ideal for performance-focused riders.

This chain retains all of Shimano’s premium features, including Hyperglide+ directional shifting, SIL-TEC coating, and a 126-link length, while adding the benefits of professional waxing. A Shimano Quick Link is included for easy installation.
