Shimano XT M8000 11 Speed Cassette

Regardless of the terrain you ride on, changing gears will feel smooth with the Shimano XT M8000 cassette. The cassette has an efficient power transfer, is very dynamic and is reliable even on the roughest trails.

Technology

Accurate and comfortable shifting thanks to smaller transitions between different gears
This cassette is ground with precision and has been fitted with chain lines to allow the chain to smoothly change gears. . This can be seen in some of the teeth, which are partially ground down. This sharpening gives better shifting for both 1x11, 2x11 and a 3x11 drivetrain.

More sustainable thanks to steel sprockets
The cassette is made of an aluminium spider with sprockets made of steel. This makes the cassette both lightweight and very durable. This means that the cassette will survive many a muddy ride in the forest and will give you the best possible support!
