Shimano, CN-M6100, Chain, Speed: 12, Links: 126, Silver
Product Details
UPC: 192790618821
Brand: Shimano

The Shimano CN-M6100 is a durable 12-speed chain from the Deore series, optimized for mountain biking (MTB) with enhanced shifting precision and strength for off-road demands. Featuring 126 links and a reusable SM-CN910-12 quick-link for easy setup, it weighs about 252g and is ideal for trail, enduro, or XC riding (priced around $30-40).

Key Features

  • Hyperglide+ Design: Super narrow for flawless 12-speed shifting, with SIL-TEC coating for reduced friction and quieter operation.
  • Robust Build: Asymmetric inner/outer plates and chromized pins boost durability and mud resistance, suited for rugged terrain.
  • Efficient Power Transfer: Optimized for Deore-level performance, ensuring smooth gear changes under load.
  • User-Friendly: Includes quick-link for tool-free installation and maintenance.

Compatibility

  • Speeds: 12-speed only; not for 11-speed, MTB/road hybrids, or non-Shimano systems.
  • Cassette: Pairs with Shimano HG 12-speed MTB cassettes (e.g., CS-M6100, CS-M7100).
  • Rear Derailleur: Works with Deore M6100, SLX M7100, or XT M8100 12-speed derailleurs.
  • Crankset: Compatible with Shimano Deore/SLX/XT 12-speed cranksets (e.g., FC-M6100).
  • Bikes: Designed for 12-speed MTBs; verify chainline (52mm typical). Not for e-bikes (use CN-M8100 for heavier loads).
  • Incompatible: Avoid mixing with road chains or older HG systems.

Installation Notes

  • Tools Needed: Chain tool (e.g., TL-CN10) if trimming; pliers for quick-link.
  • Fitment: 126 links fit most MTB frames; trim if needed based on chainstay/gear range.
  • Compatibility Check: Ensure full 12-speed drivetrain. Use Shimano’s charts for verification.
  • Maintenance Tip: Clean and lube regularly; quick-link allows easy removal for servicing.

A great value for intermediate MTB riders, the CN-M6100 delivers reliable performance. For upgrades, consider CN-M7100 (SLX) for better corrosion resistance. Confirm your setup before buying.

Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In contrast, the PowerLink connection is just as strong and durable as every other link in the chain. It can be opened and closed as may times as you want without using any tools.
