The HG50 Deore cassette is Shimano's high quality sprocket solution for 9-speed systems, so is very popular for mountain bikes, hybrids and touring bikes where a durable and reliable 9 speed cassette is called for.

The Shimano Hyperglide (HG) sprockets have a computer designed tooth configuration with contoured shift gates, resulting in a crisp smooth shift even under load, which also help deliver precise and smooth shifting straight out of the box without the bedding in period associated with some brands.

Close ratio gearing allows a more efficient use of energy through finer cadence control.

Sprockets are cut away and drilled to reduce weight without reducing rigidity.

Nickel-plated finish offers hard wearing resistance to corrosion.

Corrosion-resistant steel cassette lockring.

For 9-speed chains, especially Shimano HG chains.
