HG Chain Design for HyperGlide+
HyperGlide+ dedicated chain delivers greater chain retention, improved shifting efficiency, and smoother transmission over rough terrain.
Benefits and Features:
- Improved chain retention encourages more aggressive all-terrain riding and relieves chain-issue anxiety
- Smoother drivetrain transmission and enhanced shifting performance sharpens riders’ concentration and improves acceleration
- Better chain engagement cuts abrasion, reduces maintenance, and lengthens the lifespan of the chain
Revamped HG chain features an extended inner link plate that connects seamlessly with new chainring tooth shape for ultra-efficient drivetrain performance.
This design change reduces the vibrations normally caused by the inner and outer chain plates rolling onto the chainring, and provides better chain engagement, stronger retention, and smoother pedalling.
Features
- Full and semi synchronized shifting programable, Synchro shift compatible meaning a single shifter can control both front and rear shifting which can be fully custom tuned to your riding preferences. Semi synchronized shifting means when a front shift is made the rear mech will automatically correct to the appropriate ratio
- The removal of traditional mechanical cables in favour of electrical wires not only eliminates poor shifting caused by contaminates, corrosion and stretching, but provides effortless gear shifts
- The front derailleur also trims automatically; the cage moves in response to the position of the rear derailleur on the cassette to ensure no chain rub and a quiet unobtrusive ride, enabling you to concentrate on the road ahead
- Designed to work with the wider gear pitch spacing Shimano chainsets without sacrificing shifting performance on bikes with 135 / 142mm O.L.D.
- Braze-on fit as standard; if your bike does not have a braze-on mount seat tube adapters are available
- 12-speed E-Tube SD300 wire compatible
