The Shimano CN-M8100 XT Deore Chainis a high-performance 12-speed chain designed for Shimano’s Deore XT and Ultegra R8100 groupsets. With 138 links, it accommodates a wide range of bike setups, including those with longer chainstays or full-suspension frames. This chain is engineered to deliver smooth, reliable shifting and enhanced durability for both road and off-road cycling.

Key Features:

• Extended Inner Plate Design – The chain features an extended inner plate that improves chain engagement and retention, reducing the likelihood of chain drops and enhancing overall drivetrain stability.
• SIL-TEC Coating – Shimano’s advanced SIL-TEC surface treatment reduces friction and increases wear resistance, resulting in a quieter ride and longer chain life, even under demanding conditions.
• Quick-Link Assembly – The chain includes a non-reusable Quick-Link (SM-CN910-12) for easy installation and maintenance, eliminating the need for special tools during assembly.

This chain is also compatible with e-bikes and is designed to work seamlessly with Shimano’s 12-speed drivetrains, providing consistent performance across various cycling disciplines.
