HyperGlide+ cassettes revolutionized off-road shifting with its seamless shifts both up and down the gear range. Now it's time for the technology to change road cycling. Even during maximal efforts up a climb or racing a friend, riders no longer need to back off to perform a shift. In any gear, Shimano Ultegra R8150 drivetrains maximize efficiency thanks to larger cogs and retain compatibility with existing HyperGlide freehub bodies. All this while increasing to 12-gears, Ultegra CS-R8100 cassettes are the new paradigm in road shifting.
Technology
HG Chain Design for HyperGlide+
HyperGlide+ dedicated chain delivers greater chain retention, improved shifting efficiency, and smoother transmission over rough terrain.
Benefits and Features:
- Improved chain retention encourages more aggressive all-terrain riding and relieves chain-issue anxiety
- Smoother drivetrain transmission and enhanced shifting performance sharpens riders’ concentration and improves acceleration
- Better chain engagement cuts abrasion, reduces maintenance, and lengthens the lifespan of the chain
Revamped HG chain features an extended inner link plate that connects seamlessly with new chainring tooth shape for ultra-efficient drivetrain performance.
This design change reduces the vibrations normally caused by the inner and outer chain plates rolling onto the chainring, and provides better chain engagement, stronger retention, and smoother pedaling.
Features
- Lightweight 12-speed HG+ cassette with rigid alloy sprocket carrier for reduced weight and better shifting performance, even under the most demanding gear changes
- Hyperglide+ sprockets have been designed to reduce weight with improve Tooth shaping providing accurate shifting and reduced wear
- Wide gear range to meet the demands of all types of rider
- For use with 12-speed chains
