Shimano Linkglide LG700 Cassette

Linkglide technology is engineered specifically for durability and smoother shifting under high torque. It features a thicker, more robust tooth profile that lasts up to three times longer than standard Hyperglide cassettes, making it ideal for e-bikes or riders who put significant wear on their drivetrain.

Yes, the LG700 uses the standard HG spline pattern, so it will fit on most traditional 11-speed HG freehub bodies without needing to change your wheel or hub.

While the LG700 is compatible with standard 11-speed HG chains, it is optimized for use with Linkglide chains. For the best shifting performance and maximum longevity, we recommend pairing it with a dedicated Linkglide chain.

By incorporating an aluminum spider, Shimano has kept the weight manageable despite the heavy-duty steel gears. While it may be slightly heavier than top-tier racing cassettes, the trade-off is significantly increased durability and a much longer service life.

No, Linkglide components are designed to work as a system. To ensure proper shifting performance and indexing, you must pair this cassette with a Linkglide-compatible derailleur and shifter.
