Shimano Chain CN-M7100, SLX, 12-Speed, 126L with Quick Link

The Shimano CN-M7100 SLX 12-speed chain is a durable, precision-engineered chain designed for Shimano’s latest 12-speed drivetrains. While originally developed as part of Shimano’s SLX mountain bike groupset, this chain is compatible across multiple Shimano 12-speed platforms that use the Hyperglide+ (HG+) standard.

Constructed with Shimano’s Directional Hyperglide+ design, the CN-M7100 delivers smooth, accurate shifting both up and down the cassette, even under load. The chain features SIL-TEC surface treatment, which reduces friction, improves shifting efficiency, and extends service life in demanding riding conditions.

With 126 links, the chain offers sufficient length for most MTB, gravel, road, and e-bike setups and can be easily shortened to fit your drivetrain. A Shimano Quick Link is included, allowing for quick, tool-free installation and easy removal for cleaning or maintenance.

Compatibility

• Shimano 12-speed Hyperglide+ drivetrains
• Shimano SLX, Deore, XT, and XTR (MTB)
• Shimano 105 R7100 (road)

• Shimano 12-speed e-bike systems

This chain is an excellent choice for riders looking for reliable shifting, long-lasting durability, and broad Shimano 12-speed compatibility without the cost of higher-end models. Ideal for trail riding, gravel adventures, road use, commuting, and e-bike applications where consistent performance matters.
