SHIMANO CS-HG710 12V Cassette - Uncompromising versatility and smoothness
The SHIMANO CS-HG710-12 cassette is the perfect choice for road cyclists and touring riders seeking a wide gear range. With its 11-36T gearing, it offers a total range of 327%, allowing you to excel during flat-out sprints as well as on the steepest climbs.

Why choose the CS-HG710 cassette?

Thanks to HYPERGLIDE technology, this cassette features specially designed shift ramps to guide the chain with precision. The result? Instant, smooth, and quiet gear changes, even under load. The gear steps have been engineered for efficiency: the first 8 cogs provide a natural transition to maintain a steady cadence, while the last 4 ensure the necessary torque to tackle steep slopes without abrupt jerks.

• Wide gear range: The 11-36T steps are ideal for hilly and mountainous terrain.
• Maximum compatibility: Compatible with new 12-speed road freehub bodies, as well as classic 11-speed Road bodies.
