A strong choice for anyone maintaining or refreshing a Shimano 10-speed road drivetrain who wants an 11T top gear and extra climbing range without changing to a different speed system.
The Shimano ULTEGRA CS-6700 is a 10-speed road cassette built for riders who want reliable shifting across a versatile range. The 11-28T progression gives you closely spaced gears through the middle of the cassette, while the 28T sprocket provides useful extra climbing range for demanding roads and longer rides.
Shimano’s HyperGlide sprocket design uses updated tooth profiles to guide the chain smoothly between gears. That means more dependable shifts when you are accelerating, settling into a new cadence or changing gear on a climb. The aluminium sprocket carrier and alloy lock ring help reduce shifting stress while keeping the cassette’s construction light.
This cassette fits Shimano HG freehub bodies and is listed for pairing with Shimano RD-6700 or RD-7900 rear derailleurs. Check your existing drivetrain and rear derailleur before ordering, particularly if you are replacing a cassette on an older 10-speed road bike.
