Shimano Mountain Bike Cassette HG 8 (8-speed)

Shimano HG 8-Speed Bicycle Cassette (Rear, 8-speed, Hyperglide)

The original Shimano HG (Hyperglide) series 8-speed rear bicycle cassette is designed for installation on the splined freehub body of the rear wheel hub on mountain (MTB), road, city, and hybrid bikes. Shimano Hyperglide tooth profiling technology ensures instant, quiet, and smooth gear shifting even under load. The sprocket set is secured to the freehub using the included lockring.

Key Advantages and Features:

• Shimano Hyperglide (HG) Technology: Special ramps, chamfers, and tooth profiles facilitate chain transition between sprockets during shifting.
• Reliable Cassette Fit: Mounts onto the splined rear hub freehub and is tightened with a lockring, which reduces axle load and prevents bending.
• High-Quality Chromed Steel: The nickel/chrome plating effectively protects the sprockets from corrosion and reduces friction.
• Dismountable Design: Small sprockets are separate elements with spacers, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.

Compatibility with Bikes and Drivetrains:

• Bike Types: Mountain (MTB), cross, road, gravel, and city bikes with 8-speed (or 24-speed 3x8) drivetrains.
• Hub Type: Rear hub with a Shimano/SRAM standard splined freehub body.
• Compatible Chains: Standard 8-speed bicycle chains (1/2" x 3/32", e.g., HG-40, HG-71, KMC Z8).
