Shimano CUES CS-LG400 LINKGLIDE 11-Speed Cassette

Built to handle high torque, heavy loads, and relentless daily mileage, the Shimano CS-LG400-11 features Shimano’s heavy-duty LINKGLIDE drivetrain technology. Engineered specifically for high-power e-bikes, cargo rigs, and daily urban commuters, LINKGLIDE delivers up to 3x the wear resistance of standard HYPERGLIDE cassettes under heavy pedaling tension.

If you are looking for ultra-durable shifting performance that won't wear out after a single season of heavy e-bike or utility riding, the LG400 is the ultimate high-durability option.

Key Features

• 3x Longer Service Life: Thickened sprocket gates and robust tooth profiles drastically reduce wear over time compared to standard Hyperglide cassettes.

• Smooth, Shock-Free Shifting: Designed to deliver fluid gear changes in both directions—even under full e-bike motor torque or heavy cargo pedaling.

• Reduced Chain Jump: Re-engineered tooth shapes minimize chain slip and ghost shifting as the drivetrain ages.

• Cost-Effective Durability: Delivers long-term performance and lower maintenance costs over the lifetime of your drivetrain.

• Standard Freehub Fit: Mounts onto standard Shimano/SRAM HG splined freehub bodies.

Available Gear Ratios

• 11-45T: Tighter gear steps for smooth cadence transitions on flatter trails, gravel, and urban routes.

  • Progression: 11-13-15-17-20-23-26-30-34-39-45T

• 11-50T: Maximum wide-range coverage for steep mountain trails, heavily loaded cargo setups, and steep e-bike climbs.

  • Progression: 11-13-15-17-20-23-28-34-41-50T (or 11-13-15-17-20-23-26-30-36-43-50T depending on production batch)

Technical Specifications & Compatibility Notes

• Series: CUES / LINKGLIDE LG400

⚠️ Important System Compatibility Note: LINKGLIDE cassettes feature a unique shift profile and cable pull ratio. They are not cross-compatible with standard Shimano Hyperglide (HG) 11-speed road/MTB shifters and derailleurs (e.g., XT M8000, GRX, or SLX M7000). Always pair with Shimano CUES or dedicated LINKGLIDE components.
