Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 Speed Road Cassette
Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 Speed Road Cassette
It’s not often a cassette is the most significant component in the release of a new groupset, (well, for a year at least, since the launch of Dura Ace 9000), but the extra sprocket on this new Ultegra cassette will be a welcome addition for riders seeking wider ratios.
The CS-6800 will offer plenty: 11-23, 11-25, 12-25, 11-28, and a whopping 11-32. The broad choice supports a concept Shimano calls a “rider tuned drivetrain”, offering ratios they believe are appropriate to cycling’s four major riding types. While its possible to achieve broad ratios from 10-speed set-ups (SRAM’s Wi-Fli offers 11-32, after all), doing so from 11 speeds should reduce the gap between each sprocket.
Features:
- Lightweight 11-speed HG-EV cassette with rigid alloy sprocket carrier for reduced weight and better shifting performance, even under the most demanding gear changes
- Hyperglide EV sprockets have been designed to reduce weight with improve teeth shaping providing accurate shifting and reduced wear
- Wide gear range to meet the demands of all types of rider
- For use with HG-EV chains
- Weight: 212g (11-23)
A 2 year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Bike Tech Manila (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).
