Review on SHIMANO 6800 Ultegra 11-Speed Cassette: High-Performance Cycling Component for Smooth and Efficient Gear Shifting by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Functionally excellent, but with some limitations

Functionally excellent, but with some limitations. Replaced an 11-32t 105 11 speed cassette with this Ultegra cassette (same specs) and found that the Ultegra needed an extra large spacer between the hub and cassette.

Pros
  • HG-EV 11-speed cassette sprocket
Cons
  • Exterior
