- Value and longevity: an economical alternative to the G-Series, with exactly the same sprocket sizes.
Description
The MICROSHIFT SWORD CS-H105 10-speed cassette is the all-steel version of the SWORD gravel range’s 11-38 gearing. It has the same sprocket sizes as the G-Series, but a spiderless, entirely steel construction: a cassette for riders who cover plenty of miles in all weathers and value longevity over saving grams.
The 11-38 gearing keeps the jumps between sprockets small, ideal for maintaining a steady cadence with a double-chainring setup. The satin nickel finish provides lasting resistance to corrosion and cosmetic wear.
How does it differ from the G-Series? The sprocket sizes are exactly the same. The H-Series weighs 453 g versus 336 g, but is built for more miles and is more affordable.
Do I need a specific wheel? No: it fits a standard Shimano HG freehub.
