Shimano 105 Cassette

This cassette is designed for standard Shimano/SRAM 10-speed road drivetrains. It will work seamlessly with most 10-speed road shifters and derailleurs, but ensure your rear derailleur has the capacity to handle the largest cog size you choose.

The 105 cassette sits in the middle of the road lineup, offering a significant weight and durability upgrade over Tiagra while remaining more affordable than the premium Ultegra series. It uses similar shifting ramp technology to Ultegra, providing nearly identical performance for a fraction of the cost.

Absolutely. While it is engineered for road cycling, the durable steel construction makes it an excellent choice for commuting and training where longevity is a priority. Just verify that your rear derailleur cage length is compatible with the gear range you select.

Yes, this cassette fits on a standard Shimano HG (HyperGlide) freehub body, which is the most common standard for road bike wheels. It is not compatible with SRAM XDR or Campagnolo freehub bodies.

The aluminum carrier helps reduce the overall weight of the cassette without sacrificing the durability of the steel cogs. It also provides a stiffer interface for the largest gears, which helps prevent them from digging into your freehub body under heavy pedaling loads.
