Does the Shimano HG601 come with a quick link?

Yes — the CN-HG601 includes a Quick Link (SM-CN900-11) for tool-free chain connection and easier removal for cleaning.

How many links should I keep after sizing the chain?

Size the chain by routing through the full drivetrain without threading through the rear derailleur, then add 2 links for safety. A correctly sized chain avoids binding on the largest sprocket/chainring combination.

Can I use the HG601 with SRAM 11-speed AXS cassettes?

Yes — HG601 is compatible with SRAM XDR/XD 11-speed cassettes commonly found on road and gravel bikes. Confirm your cassette accepts Shimano-width 11-speed chains.
