The Shimano Dura-Ace CS-R9200 is the flagship 12-speed road cassette, engineered for riders who demand the fastest, smoothest drivetrain available. HyperGlide+ technology enables seamless shifts under full pedalling load, while titanium and steel cog construction keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing durability.

Highlights

• HyperGlide+ shifting — smooth, precise gear changes even under maximum load
• 12-speed range with 11-tooth small cog for maximum drivetrain efficiency
• Available in 11-30T (223g) or 11-34T (253g) configurations
• Titanium cogs on larger sprockets reduce weight without compromising strength
• Two aluminium spider arms for rigid, lightweight cog carrier construction
• Compatible with both Shimano 11-speed and 12-speed HG freehub bodies

HyperGlide+ Technology

HyperGlide+ is Shimano's most advanced cassette shifting system, designed specifically for the Dura-Ace R9200 generation. Each sprocket tooth is precisely profiled to catch the chain reliably during upshifts and downshifts — even when the drivetrain is under hard pedalling load. The result is crisp, confident gear changes at any cadence or gradient, with no hesitation or chain skip.

Lightweight Construction

The CS-R9200 uses a combination of titanium and steel cogs paired with aluminium spider arms. The 11-30T version weighs just 223g, and the 11-34T version 253g — remarkable figures for a 12-speed cassette. Titanium is used on the larger cogs where the material savings are greatest, while steel is retained on the harder-working smaller sprockets for long-term durability.

Gear Range Options

The 11-30T (11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-24-27-30T) suits flat to rolling terrain and criterium racing, with tight steps in the mid-range for fine cadence control. The 11-34T (11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30-34T) adds a 34-tooth bail-out sprocket for climbing without sacrificing the efficiency of the small end.

Compatibility & Fit

The CS-R9200 is designed for use with Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 and Ultegra R8100 12-speed drivetrains. It fits standard Shimano HG road freehub bodies — both 11-speed and 12-speed HG-L2 spline bodies are supported, so it can be run on many existing wheelsets without a freehub swap. Requires a Shimano HG cassette lockring tool and chain whip for installation. Compatible chain: Shimano 12-speed HG road chain.
