Shimano CUES CS-LG700-11 Cassette

LINKGLIDE is Shimano's drivetrain technology specifically engineered for durability. It features a robust tooth profile that resists wear under the high torque of e-bike motors, offering up to three times the lifespan of standard cassettes while smoothing out gear changes.

The CS-LG700-11 is compatible with standard Shimano/SRAM 8, 9, and 10-speed freehub bodies. You do not need a specialized microspline freehub to install this 11-speed cassette.

This cassette is designed for use with LINKGLIDE-specific chains or standard HG 11-speed chains. For the best shifting performance and longevity, we recommend pairing it with a chain specifically optimized for the LINKGLIDE system.

While it is optimized for the high-torque demands of e-biking, it is an excellent choice for any rider prioritizing drivetrain longevity. If you are a high-mileage rider or someone who dislikes frequent chain and cassette replacements, the durability benefits apply regardless of whether you have a motor.

The 11-45t range provides a wide spread of gears that makes steep, technical climbs much more manageable. It offers a low enough gear to keep your cadence steady on inclines without sacrificing the ability to pedal efficiently on flatter sections.

Yes, the aluminum spider helps shed weight compared to a fully steel construction without compromising the structural integrity of the cassette. It strikes a balance between keeping your bike's unsprung weight down and maintaining the durability required for e-bike power.
