Shimano HG40 6/7/8-Speed Chain 116L
The Shimano HG40 116L Chain is compatible with 6, 7 and 8-speed gear setups but is particularly recommended for Altus or older Alivio and STX drivetrains. Shimano’s Hyperglide technology is used to shape the inner plates, optimising shifting performance when used in conjunction with a Hyperglide cassette. The rollers, pins and plates are all heat treated during manufacturing and this combines with the mushrooming of the pins to heighten strength, durability and side-plate retention.
The chain comes complete with a handy connecting link so that installation is quick and easy.

About Shimano
Shifting the way the world rides.
From a single Osaka workshop in 1921, Shimano has grown into the world's most influential component maker. The brand's relentless engineering — Dura-Ace, Ultegra, GRX, XTR — has shaped the way the world shifts, brakes and rides, on the road and off it.
Shimano's flagship groupset, Dura-Ace, has been the benchmark for top-level road components for more than five decades. Every refinement that lands on Dura-Ace eventually shapes the entire Shimano range, all the way down to entry-level drivetrains.
