HG for Hyperglide+

The renewed HG chain features a longer inner link that connects seamlessly to the new chainring profile (tooth profile) for ultra-efficient drivetrain performance. This design reduces vibrations normally caused by the inner and outer links passing over the chainring and provides better chain engagement, greater retention, and a smoother pedal stroke.

Advantages and benefits

• Better chain retention enables more aggressive riding on all terrains and frees you from any worry of failure.
• Smoother drivetrain and enhanced shifting performance sharpen focus and improve acceleration.
• Improved chain engagement reduces wear and maintenance needs, increasing durability.

Sil-Tec

Shimano's low-friction surface treatment for superior chain durability. Sil-Tec treatment is more efficient than a standard coating: it is an advanced process that enhances performance by incorporating fluorine particles. Sil-Tec products are more efficient and durable in all conditions.
