Anyone use a Potenza 11 speed chain?

How is it compared to Chorus or Record? Does it use the same pins?
How has it held up?

Thanks in advance.

I've been using a Potenza group (not the chain) and it's "ok." That said, Wiggle sells the Potenza chain for $42.34 and a Record chain for $44.99. If it were me I'd spend the extra $2.65 any day for the excellent Record version.

The idea of another chain offering seems silly. Both in terms of functionality and COGs. Love me some campy, but really?

I ended up ordering a Chorus chain. I've only used Record thus far. I doubt i will notice a difference.

I suspect it's the 'Campagnolo 11s chain..that will be the offering once Record and Chorus are out of the system. It IS called the 'Campagnolo 11s chain'.

I think in an attempt to reduce skus, Campag will offer one chain for 11s in the future, the one now offered for Potenza.

Are you saying Record and Chorus Groups will be gone with Super Record and Potenza left? I have never had or wanted more than Chorus. I would be sad to see Chorus disappear.

He is just talking about chains. No need for a different chain for each group. One 10 speed and one 11 speed chain.

Chains, chains, we are talking chains here, not groups.
