The Shimano CS-LG400-11 is a hard-wearing 11-speed LinkGlide cassette built for the punishment that e-bikes, cargo bikes and high-mileage commuters dish out. LinkGlide tooth geometry delivers up to three times the durability of HyperGlide under high chain tension, so your drivetrain keeps shifting cleanly for far longer between replacements.

Highlights

• Up to 3x more durable than HyperGlide in high-torque, high-tension conditions
• Wide 11-45T range for confident climbing and a usable top-end
• Smooth two-way shifting, in and out, with reduced shift shock
• Optimised gear steps tuned for steady, comfortable cadence
• Fits a standard Shimano HG freehub body for straightforward installation

Built for high-torque drivetrains

LinkGlide thickens and reshapes the sprocket teeth so they cope with the heavy, sustained loads of e-bike and cargo riding. The result is a cassette that holds its shift quality long after a conventional cassette would be worn out.

Reliable, comfortable shifting

The 11-13-15-17-20-23-26-30-34-39-45T spread gives an even, predictable progression through the gears. Optimised shift gates make two-way shifting smooth and quiet, with less pedal shock when you change under load.

Compatibility & fit

11-speed, 11-45T. Mounts to a standard Shimano HG (MTB) freehub body and suits hubs with 141mm or 148mm over-locknut spacing. It must be paired with a LinkGlide-specific rear derailleur and shifter, and runs on a LinkGlide chain (CN-LG) or a compatible Shimano 11-speed HG chain (such as CN-HG601-11). It is not interchangeable with HyperGlide 11-speed shifting components.
