Pros: Durable, reliable Shimano quality.

Cons: None

Shimano Quality. Good price.

You know what it is. If you want quality but not the price of Ultegra or DuraAce, this is what you get. Crisp shifting and quality build.

Pros: Great fit. Works well with Wipperman and Shimano chains.

Cons: Maybe lighter? It is 105 after all..

Cheaper than Ultegra with minimal weight penalty

I'm on a budget, and ride about 10,000-12,000 miles per year, so I appreciate affordable, reliable, and QUIET drive train parts. The 105 cassette is a little cheaper than the Ultegra version, and lasts at least as long. In fact, the only difference is the spacer color (black, vs. silver). I use these with SRAM Red/Force crankset and derailleurs, and a Shimano Dura Ace 7800 chain. Smooth and quiet.

Pros: Economical
Reliable
Quiet

Cons: None, unless you enjoy spending more money to shave a few grams.

A good somewhat economical choice. No complaints. Not sure why I'd ever spend more for a cassette. I've run this on multiple bikes and the lifespan is similar to others.

Pros: No issues. Good wear life.

Cons: None really so far. Would like to pay less but it's in the range of the others.

Smooth Shifter

Typical great Shimano shifting at decent weight and price. One of those parts that you install and forget about.

Pros: Smooth shifting at a decent price

Cons: Not much except maybe a little heavier than more expensive models, but probably more durable as well!
