I agree ! have had very good luck with the Shimano chain ! something like 2000 miles on the 11-speed e-bike and it still passes both the Shimano and Rohloff wear guages.

Under pretty harsh winter conditions ! I do wipe off / blow air thru it frequently and I run the Silca "white" chain lube.

I'll replace the chain and cassette this summer.

Andy I did not know about the extra riveting to re-inforce side plate retention on the ebike "specific" chains. Thanks
