What Is the Shimano CUES CS-LG400-10 Cassette Designed For?

The Shimano CUES CS-LG400-10 is a 10-speed LINKGLIDE cassette with an 11-48t range built for trekking bikes, e-bikes, cargo bikes, and heavy touring setups where maximum low-end gearing is the priority. The 48t large cog provides an exceptionally low gear for climbing under load or dealing with steep grades on utility and commuter bikes -- a range that far exceeds what standard road or trail cassettes offer. LINKGLIDE technology optimizes the cassette for extended wear life and consistent shifting under the high-use, high-torque conditions typical of e-bikes and loaded touring, making service intervals longer than standard HG setups.

Requires a CUES-compatible freehub body -- not compatible with standard Shimano HG freehubs. Uses a Shimano CUES-compatible chain. Compatible with Shimano CUES 10-speed LINKGLIDE drivetrains. A purpose-built cassette for practical, high-use riding where range and durability matter most.
