The Shimano CUES CS-LG400-10 is a 10-speed LinkGlide cassette built for the demands of e-bikes, commuters and hard-working trail bikes. Its wide 11-48T range gives you a low climbing gear and useful spread up top, while LinkGlide tooth profiling keeps shifts smooth and the cassette lasting far longer under heavy load.

Highlights

• Wide 11-48T range for steep climbs and confident cruising without a front derailleur
• LinkGlide technology offers up to three times the durability of HyperGlide under high chain tension
• Smooth two-way shifting with reduced pedal shock, even under power
• Purpose-built for e-bikes and the extra torque they put through the drivetrain
• Mounts to a standard Shimano HG freehub body, so no special hub is needed
• Hard-wearing steel sprockets for a long service life

Built to last under load

LinkGlide spreads the load across more tooth contact than a standard HyperGlide cassette, which is exactly what a heavy, high-torque e-bike or loaded commuter needs. The result is a drivetrain that shifts cleanly and resists wear far better than a conventional cassette in the same conditions.

Smooth shifts in both directions

Rider-tuned gear steps and two-way shifting keep upshifts and downshifts crisp and predictable, with reduced pedal shock so you can change gear while still putting power down. The 11-48T spread covers steep pinches and faster flat sections from a single cassette.

Compatibility & fit

This is a 10-speed cassette and is only compatible with the LinkGlide shifting system - it needs a LinkGlide shifter and LinkGlide-compatible rear derailleur to index correctly, and will not shift properly with standard HyperGlide (HG) drivetrains. It fits a standard Shimano HG freehub body (Shimano/SRAM 8/9/10-speed). Run it with a LinkGlide chain or an HG 11-speed chain. Sprocket sequence: 11-13-15-17-20-23-28-34-41-48T.
