Question: are sram and shimano 11 speed chains interchangeable?
Answer: Shimano and SRAM 11-speed chains are not cross-compatible; if you have a Shimano 11-speed drivetrain, you need a Shimano 11-speed chain. ... For SRAM's XX1 or X01 1x11 MTB drivetrains, your options increase; try the SRAM PC-X1 11spd Chain, the SRAM PC-1110 11 Speed Chain, or the SRAM XX1 11-Speed Chain.
