Shimano CS-LG400 11-Speed 11–50T Cassette
What Is It?
The Shimano CS-LG400-11 (11–50T) is an 11-speed Linkglide mountain bike cassette designed for wide-range gearing and high durability, especially on modern MTB, trekking, and e-bike drivetrains.
It provides a very large gear range (11T to 50T), making it ideal for steep climbs, mixed terrain, and heavy load riding.
It uses Shimano’s LINKGLIDE system, which prioritises smooth shifting, durability, and long service life over race-level speed shifting.
