If you want easier climbing gears without replacing a perfectly good Shimano HG wheelset, this cassette is one of the smartest upgrade paths. The 11-34T range gives you a genuinely useful bailout gear for steep roads, gravel detours and loaded riding, while keeping the familiar Shimano shift feel that works well on drop-bar bikes.

The Shimano CS-HG700-11 is a practical choice for riders chasing a lower climbing gear without turning a road or all-road bike into a compatibility headache. Its 11-34T spread gives you a noticeably easier low gear than tighter road cassettes, and the official fit across 10- and 11-speed HG freehubs is the big reason it remains such a popular option for upgrades and rebuilds.
What makes this cassette stand out is how neatly it solves a common problem: plenty of riders want 11-speed gearing on an older Shimano HG wheel, but not every road cassette will fit. This one is built around that need, with Shimano listing it for HG spline M freehubs and compatibility information showing it within Shimano’s 2x11 road and gravel ecosystem when matched correctly. In plain terms, it’s a very handy option if you want lower gears on an older wheelset, a winter bike, or a mixed-surface drop-bar build.
On the road, the feel is aimed more at real-world versatility than tight race spacing. You give up some of the close-ratio steps of an 11-28 or 11-30 cassette, but you gain a much friendlier low gear for long climbs, tired legs and rougher rides. If that sounds like your kind of riding, this cassette makes a lot of sense.
Ideal for road, endurance and gravel riders who want 11-speed Shimano-compatible wide-range gearing and need it to work with an existing HG wheelset.
11-34T climbing range
Gives you a lower bailout gear for steep climbs, mixed terrain and long days when conserving your legs matters.
11-speed Shimano road fit
Designed for Shimano 11-speed use on drop-bar bikes, with gearing that suits endurance, all-road and gravel-style riding.
Fits 10- and 11-speed HG freehubs
A standout option when you want to upgrade gearing without automatically replacing older compatible wheels.
GS rear derailleur required
Best matched to Shimano medium-cage rear derailleurs so the full 34T large sprocket is handled correctly.
Wide-ratio progression
The jump to a 34T largest cog prioritises usable low gears over tight race-style spacing, which many riders prefer for climbing and mixed surfaces.
Shimano HG shift design
Built around Shimano Hyperglide-style shifting for the crisp, familiar feel many riders want from a replacement cassette.
Spacer-supported installation
Includes the fit approach Shimano uses for broader hub compatibility, making it a useful solution for older HG-based wheelsets.
Ouch!!! Tricky cassette set mounting (Shimano CS-HG800/700-11, 11-34T)
