The Shimano 105 CS-R7000 11-speed cassette in 11-32T range (EAN 4524667896951) stands out as the ideal companion for demanding cyclists seeking an unbeatable performance/price ratio. Part of the Shimano 105 R7000 group, this road cassette benefits from the latest innovations inherited from the Ultegra R8000 and Dura-Ace R9100 groups, offering ultra-precise, durable and versatile shifting for all terrains.

Hyperglide EV Technology: lightning-fast gear changes

Featuring HG-EV (Hyperglide Evolution) technology, the CS-R7000 pushes the limits of precision. The redesigned tooth profiles and computer-optimized shift ramps guarantee ultra-fast and smooth gear changes, even under load. The 11-32T range offers ideal amplitude to tackle demanding mountain passes and long climbs, while maintaining efficient pedaling cadence thanks to precisely calculated sprocket jumps. Compatible with HG-EV and HG-X11 chains, this cassette integrates perfectly with Shimano 11-speed drivetrains (and SRAM with Shimano chain).

Robust construction and controlled weight

• Nickel-plated steel sprockets: exceptional wear resistance and weather protection for optimal longevity, even in intensive use
• Aluminum spider: the three largest sprockets are mounted on an anodized aluminum spider, reducing overall weight (320 g for the 11-32T) and increasing lateral rigidity for ultra-precise shifting
• Quality spacers: PPS resin spacers (compression resistant) to maintain perfect sprocket alignment
• Steel lock ring: solid and secure fastening on the HG 11-speed freehub body

Terrain versatility and rider-tuned geometry

The 11-32T range (11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32 teeth) has been specifically designed for versatile cyclists and climbers. The large 32-tooth sprocket makes steep slopes easier without over-revving, while the small 11-tooth sprocket maintains speed on descents and flat terrain. This cassette requires a medium cage (GS) rear derailleur to handle the range. Compatible with compact and standard chainsets, it adapts to a wide variety of riding styles: sportive cycling, touring, gravel and training.

Available variants

The Shimano 105 CS-R7000 range offers several gear ratios to suit all cyclist profiles and route types:

• 11-28T variant: Weight 284 g / Range 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-28 / Ideal for hilly routes and competitors seeking close ratio gearing
• 11-30T variant: Weight 304 g / Range 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30 / Enhanced versatility for sportive riders on mixed terrain
• 11-32T variant (this product): EAN 4524667896951 / Weight 320 g / Range 11-12-13-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32 / Climbers and adventurers, mountainous terrain, demanding gravel
• 12-25T variant: Weight 269 g / Range 12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-21-23-25 / Classic road and racing, flat and rolling terrain, optimized cadence

Compatibility and installation

The CS-R7000 11-32T is fully compatible with all Shimano and SRAM 11-speed medium cage (GS) rear derailleurs, notably the RD-R7000-GS, RD-R8000-GS, RD-RX800, RD-RX810, RD-RX805 and RD-RX815 models. It mounts on all standard HG 11-speed freehub bodies (road and MTB). Installation is easy with a standard cassette lockring tool and adjustable wrench. It is recommended to replace the chain when changing the cassette to maximize drivetrain lifespan.

Maintenance and durability

• Regular degreasing and cleaning: use a specific degreaser and brush to remove debris between sprockets
• Appropriate lubrication: apply quality chain lubricant after each cleaning to optimize longevity
• Avoid high-pressure jets: favor manual cleaning to preserve the nickel plating and freehub bearings
• Visual inspection: regularly check tooth wear (shark fin shape = replacement required)

Technical summary and positioning

With an exceptional quality/price ratio, the Shimano 105 CS-R7000 11-32T positions itself as one of the best mid-range cassettes on the market. It offers performance close to Ultegra R8000 (approximately 33-35 g weight difference for identical range) for a much more accessible price. Popular with sportive cyclists, tourers and climbers, it combines Shimano reliability, cutting-edge technology and terrain versatility. A reference choice to equip your road, gravel or cyclocross bike with a trustworthy drivetrain.
