Shimano Ultegra 6500 9 Speed Kassette

The Shimano Ultegra cassette is suitable for 9 speed groups. The Shimano Ultegra 6500 cassette is equipped with the well-known Shimano HG system. The cogs have a unique shape, ensuring smooth shifting performance and optimal power transfer.

The Shimano Ultegra cassette is made of anodised steel. This offers the cassette extra durability. The three biggest cogs are connected to an aluminium support, which saves weight and makes it extra strong.
