E-bikes place very special demands on drive and shifting components. For the higher torques involved and for everyday riders who ride in the same gear for long periods of time, wear resistance and smooth running after prolonged use are of crucial importance. Shimano has taken these requirements into account in the development of Linkglide components. On both E-bikes and everyday bikes, the specially reinforced and optimized components allow smooth shifting for a stress-free riding experience for years to come.
The cost-effective XT LG500 chain enables smooth and reliable shifting. It is compatible with both 10/11-speed Linkglide drivetrains and Shimano Hyperglide drivetrains. The chain is locked with the
The solid 10/11-speed LINKGLIDE chain from SHIMANO ensures smooth shifting and reduces drivetrain noise. It shows its strengths on high-torque E-bikes with good shifting and pedaling characteristics and is also compatible with 11-speed HYPERGLIDE drivetrains. Smooth and fast shifting when riding, even under high loads, can extend the service life of the chain. The Quick-Link chain lock allows the derailleur chain to be fitted without tools. LINKGLIDE technology: SHIMANO LINKGLIDE enables smoother, quieter pedaling and shifting operations that are barely noticeable. The optimized design of the LINKGLIDE shifting aids ensures a smooth chain flow between the sprockets to avoid jumps that can impair shifting and smooth pedalling. This design improvement is particularly noticeable when shifting up, as the shift jerk is then more noticeable due to the greater forces. The durability of the drivetrain is crucial for high-torque e-bikes and for everyday riders who ride in the same gear for long periods of time. LINKGLIDE supports smooth and fast shifting and therefore impresses with its high durability.enclosed Quick-Link chain lock.
