Ideal for dedicated road cyclists, commuters, and enthusiasts, the RS500 brings SHIMANO´s renowned quality and durability to the heart of your bicycle.

Key Benefits:

Experience a new level of efficiency and stability on every ride. The RS500 bottom bracket is built around SHIMANO´s proven Hollowtech II technology, which utilizes a 24mm axle diameter to create an optimal balance of stiffness, strength, and low weight. This design significantly reduces flex under load, resulting in more direct power transfer from your legs to the road. The wide bearing placement further enhances rigidity and stability, providing a solid and responsive pedaling platform, whether you´re climbing steep gradients or sprinting for the finish line.

Ride with confidence in any weather conditions. The Tiagra RS500 features an advanced sealing system, meticulously designed to protect the high-quality bearings from contamination by water, dirt, and grit. This superior protection ensures long-lasting smooth performance and dramatically increases the component´s service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and giving you more time to enjoy the open road.

Main Features:

* Hollowtech II Integration: Perfectly designed to work with SHIMANO´s 24mm axle road cranksets, providing a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio for peak performance.
* Press-Fit Design: Ensures a secure and stable interface with the bicycle frame, contributing to overall drivetrain rigidity and clean aesthetics.
* Advanced Sealing Construction: Multi-layered seals effectively block out external elements, preserving bearing integrity and ensuring consistent, smooth rotation over thousands of miles.
