What a Shimano 105 R7000 11-speed cassette fits and works with — freehub, gear range and chains. Each point sourced.

What a Shimano 105 R7000 (11-speed) cassette fits and works with — freehub, gear range and chains — each point sourced. In short: it drops onto any standard Shimano HG 11-speed freehub with no spacer, and the range you can run depends on your rear-derailleur cage.

Freehub body
Shimano HG 11-speed (HG-EV)
Which freehub does it fit? Any standard Shimano HG 11-speed freehub — no spacer (HG-EV keeps the same body width as 10-speed) [1]
Rear derailleur (RD-R7000-GS, medium cage) Max cassette up to 11-34T [1]
Chain Compatible chains Shimano HG-EV 11-speed (CN-HG601/701) or HG-X11 mountain chain [1]
Cross-compatibility Interchangeable with other Shimano 11-speed road? Yes — shares the HG 11-speed road standard with Ultegra R8000 and Dura-Ace R9100 cassettes [2]

Planning a hillier trip? A GS-cage 105 mech takes an 11-34T for easier climbing gears — worth checking before a Dolomites or Mallorca cycling holiday.
