The Shimano SLX CN-M7100 is a 12-speed chain that brings Shimano's flagship mountain bike shifting technology to a hard-wearing, value-focused package. Supplied at 116 links with a Quick Link included, it is ready to fit a wide range of Shimano 12-speed drivetrains straight out of the box.

Highlights

• HYPERGLIDE+ tooth and plate design for fast, smooth shifts under load
• Extended inner link plate improves chain retention and engagement
• SIL-TEC surface treatment reduces friction and extends wear life off-road
• Supplied with a Shimano SM-CN910-12 Quick Link for tool-light installation
• Works across Shimano's 12-speed mountain and road groupsets

HYPERGLIDE+ shifting

HYPERGLIDE+ refines the chain and sprocket interface so the chain climbs and drops between gears quickly and quietly, letting you keep pedalling through the shift instead of easing off. The result is crisper changes when you are working hard on a climb or sprint.

Built to last off-road

The extended portion of the inner link plate keeps the chain seated on the chainring, supporting Shimano's DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ (DCE+) single-ring setups. SIL-TEC, Shimano's low-friction surface treatment, cuts drag and helps the chain shrug off the grit and grime of trail riding.

Compatibility & fit

Designed for Shimano 12-speed HYPERGLIDE+ drivetrains, including XTR M9100, XT M8100, SLX M7100 and Deore M6100, as well as Shimano 12-speed road groupsets. Supplied at 116 links (shorten to suit your frame and gearing) with a non-reusable Shimano SM-CN910-12 Quick Link included. The same Quick Link is shared across Shimano's CN-M9100, CN-M8100, CN-M7100 and CN-M6100 12-speed chains.
