Road and MTB cassette Shimano CS-HG700 11-34 11 speed - ICSHG70011134

The Shimano CS-HG700-11 11-34-tooth cassette is an 11-speed cassette designed for Shimano -compatible drivetrains, suitable for road bikes, mountain bikes and gravel bikes alike. Part number ICSHG70011134, it offers a wide range of gear ratios, providing a sufficiently low gear for easier climbing whilst retaining suitable ratios for fast-paced sections.

With a tooth count ranging from 11 to 34, this cassette is an excellent choice for cyclists seeking greater versatility and ease on climbs without switching to a 12-speed drivetrain.

The CS-HG700-11 features HYPERGLIDE sprocket technology, designed to facilitate fast, precise and smooth gear changes.

A versatile 11-speed cassette

The CS-HG700-11 ‘Shimano ’ has been developed to meet the requirements of 11-speed ‘ Shimano ’ drivetrains. Its 11–34-tooth range provides a wide gear ratio range.

The large 34-tooth cog offers a significant advantage on steep climbs or when the bike is fully loaded. It allows you to maintain a more comfortable pedalling cadence as the gradient increases.

This cassette is particularly suitable for:

• versatile road bikes;
• compatible gravel bikes;
• mountain bikes fitted with a compatible 11-speed Shimano;
• touring bikes;
• bikes used in the mountains or on hilly routes.

11-34 cassette: an excellent balance between versatility and ease of use

The 11-34 range offers a particularly attractive balance for cyclists who want to benefit from a lower, easier gear without sacrificing speed on the flat.

The 11-tooth sprocket allows you to maintain a high gear ratio when the terrain is rolling or on descents, whilst the large 34-tooth sprocket offers a welcome reserve of power on climbs.

This combination is particularly appealing to cyclists who ride on varied terrain and wish to avoid having to change components frequently.

HYPERGLIDE technology for smooth gear changes

The CS-HG700-11 sprockets feature HYPERGLIDE technology Shimano.

The machined ramps and profiles on the sprockets are designed to guide the chain efficiently as it shifts from one gear to another.

The result is faster and more precise gear changes, with smooth pedalling.

To get the most out of this performance, the cassette must be used with a chain and derailleur compatible with the Shimano 11-speed drivetrain.

Freewheel body mounting

The CS-HG700-11 uses a specific mounting system that allows it to be fitted to freewheel bodies compatible with Shimano.

A particularly interesting feature of this cassette is its suitability for Shimano 11-speed set-ups using an 11-34-tooth configuration, with the necessary adaptor system depending on the type of freehub.

Before purchasing, it is therefore essential to check the standard of your wheel’s freehub body as well as its compatibility with your rear derailleur.

A cassette designed for 11-speed drivetrains

The CS-HG700-11 is designed for 11-speedShimano systems. It must be used with a compatible shifter, chain and rear derailleur.

When replacing a cassette, you must also take into account the derailleur’s maximum capacity. An 11-34 cassette cannot automatically be fitted to all 11-speed Shimano derailleurs.

In particular, you must check the derailleur’s capacity and the largest sprocket it can accommodate.

Expert tip: before replacing your cassette with an 11-34, check the maximum sprocket size accepted by your rear derailleur. A cassette with a larger top sprocket may require a different adjustment, or even a suitable derailleur depending on the setup.

When replacing the cassette, also check the chain for wear. A new cassette combined with a heavily worn chain can cause the chain to skip and prevent a new drivetrain from functioning correctly.

For fitting, use a suitable cassette remover and a torque wrench to ensure you apply the tightening torque recommended by Shimano.
