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 enclosed Quick-Link chain lock.
Cost-effective 10/11-speed LINKGLIDE chain, also compatible with 11-speed HYPERGLIDE
Linkglide: Allows smooth shifting and pedaling, both of which extend the service life. Linkglide supports years of stress-free riding and riding experiences for new types of bikes and riding styles. This drivetrain is exceptionally durable, withstands daily wear and tear and offers good shifting and pedaling characteristics for multi-purpose bikes and high-torque e-bikes for a long time.
