Its a chain, plain and simple
Its a chain, how exciting can that be? Basically if you have an 11 speed Shimano drivetrain this is the chain you're going to want. I use it with 11 speed Ultegra and it works perfectly. Its a high-quality chain and I expect it to last. The speed link is ok, but again, its a chain so don't get too excited. Ultimately I am mildly annoyed by how specific chains have gotten. Gone are the days of interchangeability, I think that's a shame but oh well, time moves on. Basically, you don't have a choice, if you have an 11 speed Shimano drivetrain, this is the chain you're going to buy.

Plopped in ultrasonic cleaner, then a bath of wax.
These are the best bargain, quality chain out there. I degrease them and then wax. They last about 4000 miles, with intermittent waxing to extend life and after riding in wet weather.

An often overlooked part that makes a big difference
There's not a whole lot to say about a chain, but it is an item that can be overlooked in terms of shifting performance. I tried a no-name brand chain at the beginning of the season when I changed my cassette to a larger size and couldn't figure out why the shifting was so terrible. I kept on going in circles trying to re-tune the derailleur and replace cables. Eventually I threw on the old chain (with an extra quick link) and the issues immediately went away. I didn't think the chain would make such a huge difference, but lesson learned. Bough a new Shimano chain and have had zero issues since. Sure, there are lighter options out there, but I'm not willing to go through the headache finding out the performances sub-par. I'm sticking with the name brand from here on out and not looking back. Do yourself a favor and do the same, you won't regret it.

Chain is excellent, but was sent the wrong size.
This is a great chain for the price, and I've ordered many of them. Can't go wrong with a genuine Shimano chain. Just make sure that you check the link count. I order 126 link chains for my gravel bike, but last time I got a 116 (clearly marked as such on the box). Frustrating, as you have to go through the return process.

There are lots of fake chains out there, be rest assured that this one is a genuine Shimano chain. I bought a KMC chain from a local seller, assuming a local seller wouldn't be selling fake KMC chains. It broke on me after a few months in the middle of a ride in the forest. I looked into it and it was fake. Be careful when buying chains, lots of fakes floating around amazon, ebay, and FB marketplace. Stick with sellers that you know are genuine.
