Shimano Ultegra CS-R8101-12 12-Speed Cassette
The Shimano Ultegra CS-R8101 12-speed Cassette - extensive compatibility and efficient shifting
The CS-R8101-12 is a 12-speed cassette from the Shimano road bike series. In contrast to the CS-R8100, it is compatible with both electronic and mechanical groupsets. It features Hyperglide+ technology, which was first tested in the MTB sector and ensures seamless shifting even under heavy load. Even when you are riding out of the saddle or sprinting, you can shift safely and immediately. The gradations have been selected to ensure high gear efficiency in all situations as well as optimal acceleration. The enlarged teeth of the pinions also contribute to this. A special plus point is its compatibility: CS-R8101 not only fits on the special 12-speed freehub body, but can also be used with conventional Shimano road freehub bodies. All sprockets are made of steel, with two lightweight aluminium sprocket carriers.

Technology:
Hyperglide+ / HG+Hyperglide+ is the efficient further development of the Hyperglide system by Shimano. These are shifting aids and specially shaped sprocket teeth that make shifting to larger or smaller sprockets suppler, smoother and quieter. The system of small rivets attached to the side of the sprocket and milled or pressed-in ramps ensures that the chain is already carried along by the next sprocket during the shifting process before it leaves the previous sprocket. Hyperglide+ is optimised for faster shifting and shifting under load and has a more efficient chain connection, holding power and power transfer when combined with a compatible HG chain. Compared to Hyperglide, the shifting time is reduced by one third and the pedal stroke is noticeably reduced. HG+ enables a completely new chain stability and thus offers a safe riding experience.
