The same chain covers Deore XT mountain and Ultegra road 12-speed drivetrains, so one part number covers a lot of bikes in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtended inner plates improve chain engagement and retention on rough terrain, SIL-TEC treatment on the roller link plates cuts friction and wear, and the included SM-CN910-12 Quick-Link makes installation tool-free. That Quick-Link is single-use, so keep a spare in the saddle bag if you open the chain for cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're replacing a worn 12-speed chain on an XT trail bike or an Ultegra road bike, or building a mixed drivetrain that still uses Shimano 12-speed spacing, the CN-M8100 138-link chain is the length that fits when 126 links come up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShimano was founded in 1921 by Shozaburo Shimano in Sakai, Japan, and the company is still based there today. More than a century later, it's one of the biggest names in cycling components. Deore XT sits just below XTR in Shimano's mountain lineup and brings race-proven performance to trail, enduro and everyday mountain riders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68410194755807,"sku":"SHI0005","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/4245\/8591\/files\/original_1309ffca-a1a2-4488-8900-74679bb1d0ae.jpg?v=1794322003","url":"https:\/\/action.velostar.us\/products\/shimano-deore-xt-cn-m8100-12-speed-chain-138-links","provider":"Velo Star","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
