Shimano Dura-Ace CS-R9200-12 Cassette

Shimano Dura-Ace CS-R9200-12 Cassette

Engineered for uncompromising speed and flawless efficiency, the Shimano Dura-Ace CS-R9200 represents the pinnacle of road cassette technology. Built for WorldTour racers, competitive road riders, and weight-conscious enthusiasts, this flagship 12-speed cassette delivers lightning-fast, ultra-smooth gear transitions even under maximum pedaling loads.

Integrating Shimano’s game-changing Hyperglide+ technology, the CS-R9200 eliminates shift hesitation whether you're shifting up for an explosive finish-line sprint or dropping down gears into a steep mountain ascent. Featuring a hyper-lightweight hybrid construction that pairs lightweight titanium cogs with durable steel sprockets on an anodised aluminium spider, this cassette sheds critical rotational weight while maintaining maximum stiffness and power transfer. Best of all, it remains fully backward-compatible with standard 11-speed road HG freehub bodies, as well as dedicated 12-speed road HG-L2 freehubs.

Key Technologies

• Hyperglide+ Tech: Brings mountain bike-proven seamless dual-directional shifting to the road. Shift faster, smoother, and quieter without backing off your power output.

• Titanium & Steel Hybrid Construction: Utilises lightweight titanium sprockets for the larger climbing gears to drastically reduce weight, paired with high-strength steel sprockets for the smaller cogs to maximise drivetrain longevity.

• Anodised Aluminium Spider: Rigid dual-spider arm structure holds the sprockets securely, preventing flex under heavy sprint efforts and ensuring precise chain alignment.

• Versatile Freehub Compatibility: Fits both standard Shimano/SRAM 11-speed HG road freehub bodies (HG-L) and dedicated 12-speed Shimano road freehubs (HG-L2), giving you total wheelset flexibility.

Ratio Options

Tailor your gearing setup to match your local terrain, racing style, or climbing needs with two distinct ratio options:

1. The 11-30T Ratio (Rhythm Step / Criterium & Flat-to-Rolling Spec)

• Best Suited For: Fast-paced road races, criteriums, and flat-to-rolling terrain where tight gear jumps are vital for maintaining exact pedaling cadence.

• Gear Steps: 11-12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-24-27-30T

• Sprocket Composition: 5x Titanium Cogs (17T–30T) / 7x Steel Cogs (11T–16T)

• Weight: ~223 g

2. The 11-34T Ratio (Wide Range / Alpine & Endurance Spec)

• Best Suited For: Steep alpine passes, long endurance rides, and demanding Gran Fondos where an easier climbing gear is essential to stay fresh.

• Gear Steps: 11-12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30-34T

• Sprocket Composition: 6x Titanium Cogs (17T–34T) / 6x Steel Cogs (11T–15T)

• Weight: ~253 g
