Shimano Tiagra CN-4601 10Speed 116L

Reliability Redefined.

Maintain the smooth, precise shifting your 10Speed drivetrain was designed for. The Shimano Tiagra CN-4601 is a high-performance, directional chain specifically engineered for optimal power transfer and shifting accuracy. Whether you’re commuting on a reliable flat-bar road bike or training on a classic 10Speed machine, the CN-4601 delivers the "set-it-and-forget-it" durability Shimano is famous for.

Why the CN-4601 is a Workshop Essential:

• Directional Design: The plates are specifically shaped for the inner and outer sides of the drivetrain. This ensures the chain glides effortlessly over cassettes and chainrings, significantly reducing noise and improving shift speed.

• Hyperglide (HG) Technology: Featuring precision-engineered plates that "grab" the shift ramps on your gears instantly. This translates to crisp, predictable gear changes even when you're under load on a climb.

• Optimized for 10Speed: While it’s part of the Tiagra line, it is fully compatible with all Shimano 2-piece cranksets and 10Speed road drivetrains (105, Ultegra, etc.), making it a versatile stock item for any 10Speed refresh.

• Durability for the Miles: Built to withstand the torque of fitness riding and the grime of all-weather commuting. It’s a tough, reliable link in your bike's performance chain.

The Alegro Shop Tip: The CN-4601 is a directional chain. For the best performance and quietest ride, ensure the "Shimano" logos are facing outward (away from the bike) during installation. It’s a small detail that makes a world of difference in shift quality!
