Pedal shock comparison while shifting – HG vs. LINKGLIDE
Crank idling angle during up/outward shifts (lower = smoother)
67 % less deflection
Test condition: repeated inward and outward shifting. The average data of 11T, 13T, 15T
Drivetrain durability is essential for high torque e-bikes and daily riders who might ride in the same gear for months or years at a time. LINKGLIDE provides smooth and decisive shifting that lasts longer than ever before.
LINKGLIDE's re-designed cassette teeth have a substantially thicker base and a unique chamfer that drastically improves wear resistance in high torque applications. This increase in cassette durability prolongs smooth driving performance and lengthens the amount of time before chain skips caused by wear start to happen.
Features
- Drive longer without chain skips
- Far slower decline in shifting performance
