Twenty-two LINKGLIDE gears for loaded trekking and trail bikes

The CUES U6000 2x11 groupset uses the 11-speed SL-U6000 shifters, the 2x-capable RD-U6020 rear derailleur and an 11-45T LINKGLIDE cassette. Two crank choices are offered as optional extras: the FC-U8000-2 46-32T for faster riding, or the FC-U6000-2 36-22T for steep off-road and cargo work. Each needs its own front derailleur, so pick the pair that matches.

Kit includes

  • SL-U6000-11R right shifter and SL-U6000-L 2-speed left shifter
  • FD-U8010-L front derailleur for the 46-32T crank (or the FD-U6000 for the 36-22T crank)
  • RD-U6020 11-speed rear derailleur, SGS cage (45T, 48T capacity)
  • CS-LG700-11 LINKGLIDE cassette 11-45T (or CS-LG400-11 11-45T)
  • CN-LG500 LINKGLIDE chain

Options

  • FC-U8000-2 46-32T crankset, 170 or 175 mm, or FC-U6000-2 36-22T crankset, 170 or 175 mm
  • BB-MT501 threaded 68/73 mm bottom bracket
  • BR-U8000 / BL-U8000 hydraulic disc brakes, front and rear
  • RT-MT800 Center Lock rotors (choose size)

The crank, bottom bracket, brakes and rotors are optional extras that start at 0, so e-bikes and bikes keeping their own parts are not charged for them. Every other part can be deselected if you already have it. Pick one cassette, and the front derailleur that matches the crank you add. A 46-30T crank is not offered because it exceeds the RD-U6020's 48T capacity with an 11-45 cassette.
