• Connect Type: Ampoule-type connecting pin (included)

• Weight: Approx. 299g (116L)

⚙️ Key Features & Performance:

1. HyperGlide (HG) Technology:

Developed by Shimano, HG technology allows the chain to work in perfect harmony with HG cassette sprockets. The result is smoother, faster, and quieter gear transitions, especially during downshifting under pedaling load.

2. Super Narrow Profile:

The chain’s slim build is optimized for modern 9-speed drivetrains. It improves shifting precision and reduces the chance of chain rub, especially on cross-chained gear combinations. Despite its narrow profile, it retains excellent strength and tensile durability.

3. Ampoule-Type Connect Pin:

A precision joining pin designed to permanently and safely join the chain. It ensures high shear strength at the joint and prevents any weak spots—critical for aggressive riders and long-distance cyclists.

4. Nickel-Plated Plates:

Both inner and outer plates are nickel-coated to improve resistance to rust, corrosion, and external contaminants. This makes the CN-HG93 ideal for wet, muddy, or dusty environments and reduces overall chain wear.

5. Wide Compatibility:

While optimized for Shimano 9-speed systems (e.g., Deore, Tiagra, Sora), it also works seamlessly with 9-speed groupsets from SRAM and Campagnolo, making it a versatile choice for bike maintenance or upgrades.

🚴 Ideal Applications:

• Mountain Biking (MTB): Built for rugged terrain with strong retention and low-friction performance

• Road Cycling: Excellent shifting under cadence and high-load pedaling

• Touring & Trekking: Durable and rust-resistant for long-distance and all-weather rides

• Hybrid Bikes: Great for daily commuting or recreational riding
