XTR/Dura-Ace 12-Speed Chain

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I rely on the CN-M9100 chain for both trail and e-MTB rides. Its shifting under torque is unmatched, and it handles power spikes without stretching or skipping. It's not reusable, but I’ll take that trade for the added security and performance—especially on rowdy terrain."

The Shimano XTR CN-M9100 Chain is purpose-built to match the precision and demands of modern 12-speed drivetrains. Designed for XTR-level performance, this chain delivers buttery-smooth gear transitions—even under heavy pedaling load. That makes it ideal for cross-country racers, all-mountain riders, and electric mountain bike users alike.

Shimano’s proprietary plate shaping enhances chain retention and shifting accuracy, while also minimizing drivetrain noise. The CN-M9100 is compatible with Shimano’s SM-CN910-12 Quick Link, allowing for fast, tool-free installation. Note that the Quick Link is single-use, ensuring maximum connection integrity.

With 126 links, this chain accommodates a wide range of drivetrain configurations. Whether you're outfitting a high-performance analog bike or dialing in your e-MTB rig, the XTR CN-M9100 delivers class-leading performance where precision counts most—on the trail, under pressure, and at speed.
