Can I use a Shimano 11-speed chain on a SRAM 11-speed drivetrain?
Yes. The 11-speed chains from Shimano, SRAM and KMC are effectively interchangeable on 11-speed road drivetrains. The key is to use a chain of the correct speed (11-speed). Campagnolo 11-speed is the exception, as it has its own profile.
Standards involved
What you need — before you buy
- They are compatible — but still confirm against your exact model and year before buying; small revisions can change the fit.
- Match the part to your exact hub/frame: check brand, model and year. Don't choose a freehub body or component by standard name alone.
