The Shimano LINKGLIDE LG500 chain provides smooth and decisive shifting with both 10/11-speed LINKGLIDE and 11-speed HYPERGLIDE drivetrains. The SM-CN900-11 Quick-Link closure makes installation easy.

LINKGLIDE consistently delivers smoother, more even pedalling while shifting that you can barely feel at your feet. LINKGLIDE's optimized shifting gate design that creates a smoother handoff between cogs to avoid the jumps that can impact shifting and pedalling smoothness. This design improvement is especially pronounced on outward shifts where pedalling shock is more noticeable due to the larger forces involved.

Drivetrain durability is essential for high torque e-bikes and daily riders who might ride in the same gear for months or years at a time. LINKGLIDE provides smooth and decisive shifting that lasts longer than ever before. LINKGLIDE's re-designed cassette teeth have a substantially thicker base and a unique chamfer that drastically improves wear resistance in high torque applications. This increase in cassette durability prolongs smooth driving performance and lengthens the amount of time before chain skips caused by wear start to happen.
