The strongest system is a chain with no weak links. Eagle chain links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear.
The GX Eagle Transmission (T-Type) chain is the strongest we have ever made. Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, this all-new T-Type design features a unique flat top.
It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains.
The Shimano CN-LG500 Link Glide chain provides smooth and decisive shifting with both 10/11-speed Link Glide drivetrains and 11-speed Hyperglide drivetrains.
