Shimano Altus CS-HG31 Cassette - 8 Speed | 11-34t | Mega Range
What Makes the Shimano Altus CS-HG31 a Smart Cassette Pick?
The Shimano Altus CS-HG31 is an 8-speed Mega Range cassette that packs a 34t large cog into an affordable package, giving riders more climbing range than standard 8-speed cassettes typically offer. Built with Hyperglide technology, the tooth profiles and shift ramps keep gear changes clean and consistent even on worn or entry-level drivetrains where precision matters most. Zinc phosphate coated steel cogs provide solid corrosion resistance and wear durability for the everyday riding conditions that budget-tier mountain and hybrid bikes are regularly subjected to.
The 11-34t Mega Range spread is designed for riders who prioritize maximum gear range over tight steps, making it especially useful for steep climbs, bike paths with heavy loads, or any situation where spinning a low gear is more important than micro-adjusting cadence. This cassette fits any standard Shimano HG 8-speed freehub body and is compatible with Altus, Acera, Alivio, and Tourney 8-speed drivetrains. A standard lockring tool handles installation, and no adapters are required.
