SHIMANO CS-LG700-11 LINKGLIDE 11-SPEED CASSETTE

Shimano CS-LG700-11 Linkglide 11-speed cassette for smooth performance on the e-bike

CS-LG700-11 is an 11-speed cassette with Linkglide technology that Shimano has developed for MTB as well as touring e-bikes with mechanical, electronic or electronic-automatic shifting. Unlike CS-LG400-11, it has an aluminium sprocket carrier, which saves weight on the sprockets. The cassette is characterised by particularly long durability and very smooth gear changes. Compared to Hyperglide+ cassettes, which are designed for competition performance and fast shifting, the service life has been increased by a factor of 3. This is mainly due to the widened base of the pinion teeth and the milled chamfers, which minimise wear even under high load. The extremely smooth function is due to the optimised design of the shifting aids, which ensures that the chain is guided to a larger or smaller sprocket without pedal shock. This way you pedal more evenly and can enjoy riding for longer, especially if you ride a lot and frequently. The Linkglide cassette is also compatible with Hyperglide chains.

Guidelines for Replacing E-bike Components:

Technology:

Linkglide
The sprockets of Linkglide cassettes have an optimised tooth shape and special tooth tips with large, deep cutouts on the hidden side and narrow cutouts on the drive side. Together with the widened tooth base, this not only results in optimal chain connection, but also makes these cassettes three times more durable than Hyperglide+ cassettes and reduces deformation. Revised shift aids in terms of profile and position ensure smooth shifting in both directions and reduce the shift jerk that tends to occur due to the high chain tension on e-bikes, especially when shifting to a smaller sprocket. Linkglide cassettes are made for everyday use and resist the wear that would be expected from high torque and months or years of riding in the same gear. It also extends the life of the chain and delays the point in time at which it starts to slap due to wear and tear.
