The Shimano 105 CS-HG700 11 Speed Cassette is a versatile wide-range road cassette designed for riders who want smooth shifting, efficient cadence control, and easier climbing performance across road, endurance, gravel, and mixed-surface riding. With an 11-34T gear range, it provides a practical balance between high-speed gearing on flat roads and lower gears for steep climbs and long-distance routes.
Wide 11-34T Gear Range
The CS-HG700-11 uses the following sprocket combination:
11-13-15-17-19-21-23-25-27-30-34T
This carefully arranged progression helps riders maintain a comfortable cadence while moving through different gradients. The 34-tooth largest sprocket provides additional climbing support, making the cassette well suited to hilly routes, endurance rides, touring, and mixed-surface cycling.
Smooth & Responsive Shifting
Designed for compatible Shimano 11-speed drivetrains, the cassette supports precise and controlled shifting between sprockets. Its rider-focused gearing helps maintain efficient pedaling while accelerating, climbing, or riding at a steady pace over long distances.
Versatile Road Bike Compatibility
The Shimano CS-HG700-11 is suitable for a wide range of compatible drop-handlebar bicycles, including road bikes, endurance bikes, gravel bikes, and touring setups. It is designed to work with suitable GS cage rear derailleurs, providing sufficient capacity for the wide 11-34T range.
Flexible Freehub Installation
A removable spacer allows the cassette to be used with compatible freehub configurations, including suitable 10-speed and 11-speed freehub bodies when installed correctly. This makes the HG700-11 a flexible replacement or upgrade option for many existing road wheel setups.
