Shimano Deore 10-Speed Linkglide E-Bike Upgrade Kit

The Shimano Deore 10-Speed Linkglide Kit is engineered for the "everyday adventurer." By focusing on 10-speed spacing, Shimano has created a system with even thicker sprockets and a more robust chain engagement than 11 or 12-speed setups. This makes it virtually immune to the "skipping" and "crunching" often experienced when shifting an e-bike under heavy pedal pressure.

Maximum Value, Minimum Maintenance

The Deore Linkglide system is designed to be set and forgotten. The CS-LG400-10 cassette is constructed entirely of high-strength steel, ensuring the teeth maintain their profile even after thousands of miles of motor-assisted climbing. It is the ideal choice for trekking, utility, and entry-level e-MTB riders who want to spend more time riding and less time in the workshop.

The Shimano Deore 10-Speed Linkglide (LG) Upgrade Kit is the most cost-effective way to bring ultra-durable drivetrain technology to your e-bike or heavy-duty commuter. While it offers one fewer gear than the XT version, it utilises the same Linkglide tooth architecture, providing a significant increase in lifespan for riders who wear through standard drivetrains every few hundred miles.

The Deore LG kit remains the benchmark for "indestructible" entry-level e-bike components, offering reliable shifting under the high loads of mid-drive motors.

THE DETAIL

Three Times the Lifespan: Linkglide's unique tooth gates are significantly thicker than standard Hyperglide teeth, resisting the wear caused by the high-torque output of modern e-bike drive units.
Seamless Shifting: The system is optimised to reduce "pedal shock," enabling smooth gear transitions even when the motor is providing maximum assistance.
Shadow RD+ Stability: The rear derailleur features a proven friction clutch to keep the chain quiet and secure on rough roads or light trails.
Standard HG Hub Fitment: Designed to fit onto a standard Shimano HG freehub body, making it a simple and direct upgrade for the vast majority of existing e-bikes.
