Fine proportions for riding in flat Groningen.

- Herman, 14 October, 2022

Ideal for flat country. 11-23 nice mix. Exactly what I expect from it. Unfortunately they are going out of the range in the future.

Best value for money

- Jef, 25 December, 2020

For on the flat, the 11/23 is the best cassette. Transitions are per tooth only the last 2 skips 1 tooth. Rides super and shifts very smoothly like this. Cassettes last a long time for the amount you pay for them.

Pros & Cons

Easy assembly
Minimal transitions

Very good cassette, I wish it was available in 105

- ENRIQUE KIYOSHi, 15 August, 2020

This cassette is ideal for NL. Why would you need bigger sprockets on 100% flat courses? I really like it, perfect cadence all the time. Only drawback is that is expensive, I wish there was a 105 version

Pros & Cons

Keeps 11t sprocket
Perfect cadence for flat courses
Pricey. Only available in ultegra or dura ace

- Bert, 20 July, 2020

Fine cassette. Pity, though, that no separate sprockets can be bought. This makes it an expensive solution

Pros & Cons

Different compositions
Long-lasting cassette
Shifts fine
No loose sprockets for sale
Only replace entire cassette
Replacing the entire cassette makes it unnecessarily expensive

- Richard, 7 February, 2018

Just made the change to a 11/32 ratio with this cassette which delivers the trusted quality and reliability of Ultegra 6800. The first ride on this set up delivered an improved performance in a regular tough local climb that has 20% gradient in parts. Very pleased with the results.

I have two bikes, one is fitted with Shimano 105 and the other is fitted with Shimano Dura Ace. I fitted this cassette to my spare wheel and can use it in both bikes. The cassette works perfectly with both systems.

Cost Effective All Rounder

- Peter, 15 September, 2016

If one desires dependability with regularity, then the most obvious choice is Shimano's Ultegra 11speed components. Entirely practical without egregious cost, one would be silly to ignore the benefits of running Ultegra, in this case their most excellent 11-23. A cassette that, when paired with either a 36 oor 39 inner will get you up any hill, contrary to what "experts" may profess. The added benefit with this ratio is that from 11-19, there are no gaps, just one tooth difference. A boon when on the local chaingang

Pros & Cons

Entirely well produced
Useful ratios

5 / 5

Good stuff

- Joshua, 12 September, 2016

I was looking for a new cassette for junior racing. Previously had to use miche ones (which were rubbish). Thrilled when I found a genuine ultegra one in a 14-28. Mantle are the only place I found it within the UK. Speedy delivery and great service.

I have moved to shimano 11 on all bikes including my TT bike. The ultegra cassettes are great - I even had one milled to fit an 'old" zip disc. I have 11-23 and 11 -25 set ups with compact on road bikes and 56-44 on my TT. Just buy them.

Did what was expected and an easy upgrade!

- Ger, 5 May, 2016

Switched out the stock 11-28 cassette (on Cube Agree GTC SL Carbon Compact) to this 11-32 cassette, as I'm relatively new to road biking after years of mountain biking and struggled with the reduced gear range on the climbs. The change had an immediate benefit. I read up beforehand and spotted numerous forum posts about potential issues with the derailleur compatibility with this shift to '32...but cross checked on Shimano's website and as I wasn't using the short cage derailleur (the bike has Ultegra RD-6800GS fitted) the only thing that was needed was a new chain to add length.

Great cassette

- Mark, 7 February, 2016

Slightly lighter than the 105 that it replaced. Nicely machined and the applicator was very useful, making the installation very simple. The 11 32 works well in my area suiting the climbs with enough on the smaller cogs to give good speed.
