Shimano 105 CS-R7000-11 11Speed
Pro-Level Steps. 105 Durability.
The Shimano 105 CS-R7000-11 is engineered with Hyperglide (HG-EV) technology, featuring precisely mapped shift ramps that ensure the chain transitions between cogs with surgical speed and silence. By offering a wide variety of "Rider-Tuned" gear combinations, Shimano allows you to find your perfect cadence whether you are spinning up a 15% alpine grade or tucking into an aerodynamic sprint on the flats.
Why the 105 R7000 is the Ultimate 11Speed Value:
-
Hyperglide EV Shifting: Features computer-designed tooth profiles that provide a "snap" to the shifting feel, reducing drivetrain hesitation even when you're shifting under high wattage.
-
Aluminum Spider Construction: The largest cogs are mounted on a lightweight aluminum carrier, significantly increasing stiffness for better power transfer while shaving weight off your rear wheel.
-
Nickel-Plated Steel Cogs: Every cog is forged from high-tensile steel and finished with a durable nickel plating, offering superior resistance to wear and corrosion compared to entry-level cassettes.
-
Rider-Tuned Gear Steps: Available in a massive range of options (11-28T, 11-30T, 11-32T, and 12-25T), providing the tight steps needed for racing or the "climb-anything" range needed for mountain epics.
-
Shimano HG-11 Compatibility: Fits all standard 11Speed Shimano/Sram road freehubs, making it a "plug-and-play" upgrade for almost any modern rim or disc brake road bike.
-
Proven Longevity: Widely recognized as the longest-lasting cassette in the Shimano lineup, offering a service life that often outperforms the more expensive Ultegra and Dura-Ace models.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call the R7000 the "smart racer's cassette." While Ultegra saves a few grams by using more aluminum, the 105 R7000 uses more steel, which means it actually lasts longer and handles high-torque shifting better. If you aren't counting every single gram for a hill-climb race, this is the best 11Speed cassette money can buy for your daily training or "B-bike." It provides the exact same shifting quality as the top-tier groupsets at a fraction of the cost.
