Waited a long time for them to manufacture an 11 speed Ultegra 11-30

- Christopher, 12 July, 2017

5 / 5

Fits the bill... for the toughest of climbs

- Rob, 9 December, 2017

I purchased the 11-34 Ultegra R8000 cassette from Mantel to replace my current Ultegra 11-32 cassette. Good service and quick delivery. I do a fair bit of hill climbing and as I get older, I needed a little more help. I was concerned at first thinking that the gear ratios may be difficult to get use to. To be fair it is brilliant I love the ratios - the 30 tooth gear is ideal for most hills, saving the 34 tooth ratio for that really tough climb, or when I'm fading!

Pros & Cons

Good Ultegra quality
Expensive

5 / 5

Excellent quality product as expected from Shimano

- Derry, 6 February, 2018

It's a cassette! It does exactly what it says on the tin. The range 11 to 30 is great. You might miss a ratio in the middle but it gives everything you should need at both ends of the spectrum.

Pros & Cons

Good Price/Quality balance

5 / 5

- Neil, 4 April, 2018

Just the job for the hills

- Kevin, 29 April, 2018

That bottom gear does just the job on the 20% hills

Pros & Cons

Low bottom gear
some gaps in the high gears

5 / 5

Stops my legs exploding

- Paul, 25 June, 2018

I’m reasonably fit but don’t generate much power. Any sustained climbing over 7% burns me out leaving me wrecked on long runs. This cassette fixes that problem.

Pros & Cons

Gaps between gears are not particularly noticeable
Leaves me fresher on a long ride
Loads of gears with a 52 36
Bit of extra weight
Needed a GS cage rear
Not as macho as a 12-25!

5 / 5

Excellent climbing cassette

- pszemysuaf, 29 July, 2018

I'm not a cadence orthodox but still find the 2-teeth grading very smooth for climbing (I did some 20%+ gradients on my semi-compact) and descents. Though I did very litte flats b/c I intend to use it solely for the mountains. Still good piece of specialist kit.

Pros & Cons

34 teeth
Even grading 11-27 at 2T a cog
Full range
Silent
Smooth shifting
A bit heavy
Requires long RD cage

5 / 5

Very good option for cyclocross racing. A 36 would match the sram groupset

Fantastic product & fast service from Mantel

- Martin, 10 February, 2020

Gives you all the range you need when the road points up. Super smooth shifts and no need to be riding around with a 28 as the largest sprocket anymore. If you have standard Ultegra r8000 rear derailleur that should be fine, just new chain only.

Pros & Cons

Great shifts

Wanted a cassette that makes the hills in North Wales easier to climb and this certainly does.

- Mike, 29 June, 2020

Living in an area where steep hills make cycling more challenging, I wanted a cassette that was easier on the hills. This 11 speed 11-34 made a huge difference, giving me that extra gear.

- Iurii, 23 July, 2020

I use this 11-30 cassette with 52-36 at front and Di2 RD 8050 SS. I'm sure that the Gear Position Control witch prevents to shift into the 2 smallest sprockets allows calculate the chain capacity of RD like: 52-36 + 30-13 = 33 (the chain capacity of RD SS)

You think you don't need one but what a difference.

- Andy, 24 July, 2020

Ive ridden my bike far mire tgan usual during lockdiwn, 6000km in 3 minths, so i thought i should invest ina new cassette even though the old one was only 8 months old. I added a new chain two as i replace a chain ever 2 to 3 months. Wow, whar a difference. Shifting is properly crisp and smooth.
