Its robust original design delivers far greater durability and smooth shifting for long-lasting performance. LINKGLIDE is also delivers long-lasting performance thanks to its 3x increased durability and its robust cassette teeth.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. And finally, LINKGLIDE is able to provide smooth shifting while pedalling for a consistent and confident ride experience. With LINKGLIDE's optimised gear gate design, shifting is smoother withsignificantlyless shock.HOLLOWTECH IIProviding the best balance of stiffness, strength, weight and rotating performance, the concept of HOLLOWTECH II technology is focused on producing a superior crankset which willmaximisea rider's power transfer. The rigidity of the crankset ensurespedallingefficiency while its weight, a key element of the crankset, you want light, aids in cycling longer distances over which the rider needs to pedal more. Naturally, SHIMANO strove for the optimum balance between the conflicting needs of stiffness while producing a lightweight crank. HOLLOWTECH technology is an ultra-lightweight hollow crankarm created by SHIMANO with the company's own proprietary forging technology that also maintains rigidity. The addition of HOLLOWTECH II technology integrates the bottom bracket axle with the right crankarm for more stiffness and weight savings to achieve a high-dimensional balance. Its outboard bottom bracket bearing system provides better weight distribution and morepedallingstability, allowing for more efficient power transfer. The HOLLOWTECH II crankset has been developed by pursuing the optimum balance of stiffness & rotating performance in a lightweight and beautiful crankset design. Moreover, HOLLOWTECH II crankset has a high-precision sealing in the bearing area to increase durability maintaining the excellent rotating performance for long periods.Dynamic Chain Engagement+Shimano's Dynamic Chain Engagement+ is a special gear teeth profile designed for use in single-chainring configurations for XC, enduro, and trail riding. It gives more chain retention and smoother pedalling - even over bumpy terrain. Chain retention of any gear will reduce abrasion and wear.Dynamic Chain Engagement
