Bike chain for E-Bikes. Sil-Tec coating on the inner and outer links for exceptionally smooth operation. Specifically designed for E-Bikes. Gears: 11. Chain links: 116. The Shimano CN-E8000 E-Bike chain is specially developed to withstand higher speeds and the resulting increased stress on components.

To check the condition of the chain, it is advisable to regularly use a chain checker, as this ensures timely replacement and helps prolong the lifespan of the cassette and chainrings.
