Overview
What Bikes Use the Shimano CS-HG500 10-Speed Cassette?
The Shimano CS-HG500 is a versatile 10-speed cassette compatible with both road and MTB 10-speed drivetrains across a wide range of Shimano groupsets, built with Hyperglide shift ramps and tooth profiles that deliver fast, accurate indexed shifting on flat-bar hybrids, road training builds, and 10-speed MTB drivetrains alike. The 11-34t ratio provides extra climbing range over tighter road-oriented options, making it a popular choice for endurance road builds, light gravel setups, and recreational MTBs where a wider gear spread matters more than close ratio steps.
Compatible with Shimano 10-speed road drivetrains whose rear derailleur takes a 34T cog, such as Tiagra 4700 with the RD-4700-GS on a double crankset, as well as 10-speed MTB systems including Deore M6000. Works with Shimano 10-speed Hyperglide chains. Fits standard HG freehub bodies on both road and MTB wheels. A dependable, well-priced cassette for maintaining a Shimano 10-speed drivetrain.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Shimano

There's more to Shimano than this one product. Our Shimano page has the full Shimano lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Shimano page →Is the CS-HG500 compatible with Shimano Tiagra and Ultegra 10-speed road derailleurs?
It depends on the derailleur. Shimano lists the Tiagra RD-4700-GS for a 34T low cog with a double crankset (32T with a triple), while the short cage RD-4700-SS tops out at 28T. Check your rear derailleur's maximum low sprocket before ordering.
What chain is recommended for the CS-HG500?
Use a Shimano HG-X 10-speed or HG 10-speed chain. Those are the chain types Shimano lists as compatible.
Is 11-34t wide enough for climbs on a road bike?
The 11-34t range provides a usable bail-out gear for moderate to steep road climbs, especially when paired with a compact 50/34t or Tiagra 52/36t crankset.
