The CN-M9100 chain has been specially developed for Shimano's new 12-speed drivetrain and is even narrower. It ensures optimal interaction with the other components of the XTR M9100. A larger area at the end of the inner link, which holds the tooth on the chainring and the cassette cog, provides better chain guidance. Additionally, the chain is closed with a user-friendly Quick-Link.

The new XTR continues 27 years of MTB innovation with even more speed, focus, and control. If you want to push the limits on today's extremely demanding courses, the new XTR is packed with the technological edge you need. It will inspire you to get the most out of yourself. Shimano has continued to work very hard since the introduction of the very first MTB group 27 years ago. The XTR is compelling proof of that. With its completely new design, it is the most advanced MTB group on the market. It is lighter, more comfortable, more robust, and more versatile. It converts the rider's performance into propulsion with extreme efficiency.
