According to the product specialist

Pros
This cassette has a very high price-performance ratio.
Thanks to the Hyperglide+ grinding, shifting is still fast and smooth, even in extreme conditions.
The first 7 sprockets are mounted on a spider, making them very rigid.
This cassette has a wide range by the addition of a '10' as smallest tooth.
This cassette also allows you to shift gears smoothly and quickly in rough conditions and when there is a lot of pressure on the pedals.
The weight of this cassette is relatively low, without compromising its durability.
Thanks to the Shimano Hyperglide+ technology this cassette shifts extremely smoothly!
Shimano XTR CS-M9101 cassettes are made of aluminium, steel and titanium to be very light yet durable.
With a range up to 10-51 this cassette has all the gears you are going to need.
Cons
This cassette is heavier than the higher-end 12 Speed Shimano cassettes.
You need a Shimano MicroSpline body to mount the cassette. So you have to adjust your rear wheel to this.
Please note: only to be used with Shimano Micro Spline freehub bodies.
