Manufacturer Specs:
LINKGLIDE delivers seamless shifting and pedaling performance that's made to last.
LINKGLIDE will support stress-free riding and ownership experiences for evolving bike types and riding styles for years to come. It is an exceptionally durable drivetrain built to stand up to persistent daily wear and provide enduring shifting and pedaling performance for multi-purpose bikes and high-torque e-bikes.

The robustly engineered cassette design shifts up and down gears seamlessly while significantly reducing drivetrain wear. LINKGLIDE is the ultimate utility drivetrain that delivers long-lasting performance.

LINKGLIDE Key Features
Smooth and decisive shifting and pedaling performance that's made to last.
Optimized shifting gate design.
Robust cassette teeth resist damage when shifting and driving under high torque.

LINKGLIDE consistently delivers smoother, more even pedaling while shifting that you can barely feel at your feet.

LINKGLIDE's optimized shifting gate design that creates a smoother handoff between cogs to avoid the jumps that can impact shifting and pedaling smoothness. This design improvement is especially pronounced on outward shifts where pedaling shock is more noticeable due to the larger forces involved.


Drivetrain durability is essential for high torque e-bikes and daily riders who might ride in the same gear for months or years at a time. LINKGLIDE provides smooth and decisive shifting that lasts longer than ever before.

LINKGLIDE's re-designed cassette teeth have a substantially thicker base and a unique chamfer that drastically improves wear resistance in high torque applications. This increase in cassette durability prolongs smooth driving performance and lengthens the amount of time before chain skips caused by wear start to happen.
Features
Drive longer without chain skips
Far slower decline in shifting performance
