Shimano CN-M8100 12-speed chain 126 links

The Shimano XT CN-M8100 12 chain is a central component of the XT M8100 groupset and has therefore been optimized from the ground up. High-precision shaped contact surfaces to chainring and cassette ensure precise, fast and smooth shifting in both directions, even under load. In addition, the CN-M8100 chain features chrome-plated inner plates that noticeably increase durability.

Technologies:
HG
The 12-speed HG chain delivers smooth power transfer with a tighter chain guide, as well as a quieter and smoother drive thanks to larger parts on the end of the inner plates combined with the Dynamic Chain Engagement Plus crank or chainring. And the combination with Hyperglide+ allows shifting without interrupting pedaling.

Directional
The CN-M8100 chain has an asymmetrical design. Therefore, the running direction must be taken into account when mounting. The specially shaped plates optimize the engagement on the sprocket and lead to even smoother shifting even under load. To save weight, these chains have recesses on the inner plates. The side with the marking is the outside.
