Technologies

HG for Hyperglide+

The renewed HG chain features a longer inner link that connects seamlessly to the new tooth profile of the sprocket for ultra-efficient transmission performance. This different design reduces vibrations normally caused by the passage of inner and outer links over the sprocket and provides better chain engagement, greater retention, and smoother pedaling.

Advantages and benefits

Better chain retention enables sharper rides on all terrains and frees you from any failure worries.

Smoother transmission and enhanced shifting performance sharpen focus and improve acceleration.

The best chain engagement reduces abrasion and maintenance needs, increasing durability.

Quick-Link

The tool-free installation of current chains offers extreme convenience.
