Ingredients and instructions for use

Ingredients
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 included Quick-Link chain lock.LINKGLIDE enables smoother, quieter pedaling and shifting operations that are barely noticeable. The optimized design of the LINKGLIDE shifting aids ensures a smoother transfer 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 months or years at a time. LINKGLIDE enables smooth and fast shifting and lasts longer than ever before. LINKGLIDE's redesigned cassette teeth have a much thicker base and a unique chamfer that dramatically improves wear resistance in high torque applications. This increase in cassette life extends smoothness and the time before wear-related chain jumps occur.Quick-Link chain lock - the chains can be easily fitted without toolsOptimized for LINKGLIDE systemsEnjoy the smooth and reliable shifting performance of LINKGLIDESmooth and reliable shifting performanceLINKGLIDE technologyCompatible with LINKGLIDE 10/11-speed and 11-speed HYPERGLIDE drivetrainsScope of delivery: Chain including Quick-Link chain lock.
