Flawless Shifting & Optimal Gearing: The Shimano XT 12-Speed Cassette
The Shimano XT 12-speed cassette delivers high-performance gearing and seamless shifting for the most demanding mountain bike trails. Designed to work with the Micro Spline freehub standard, these cassettes are a cornerstone of a high-performance drivetrain, providing crisp, smooth, and predictable gear changes even under the toughest loads.
Featuring Hyperglide+ technology, computer-designed tooth configurations, and a lightweight construction, the XT cassette is engineered to give you the perfect gear for every situation, ensuring you can maintain an efficient cadence and conserve energy on varied terrain.
Hyperglide+ Technology: The sprockets feature a computer-designed tooth configuration with advanced contoured shift gates. This results in a fast and exceptionally smooth shift, allowing you to change gears even when pedalling hard, without any disruption to your power output.
Lightweight Construction: The largest sprockets are mounted on lightweight alloy carriers to reduce overall weight and increase rigidity. Further weight savings are achieved by strategically cutting away and drilling the sprockets, ensuring durability and stiffness are not compromised.
Exceptional Durability: A hard-wearing chrome-plated finish offers superior resistance to corrosion, ensuring your cassette looks good and performs flawlessly ride after ride. An alloy cassette lockring provides a secure and reliable fit.
Designed for 12-Speed Systems: Engineered for flawless integration with 12-speed MTB chains, this cassette is the perfect match for your Shimano XT drivetrain, providing a high-performance and reliable gearing system.
The Shimano XT 12-speed cassette is available in two distinct ratios, allowing you to select the perfect setup for your riding style and terrain.
1. XT 10-51T Wide Ratio Cassette
This cassette is the ultimate choice for riders who need the widest possible gear range. The 10-51T ratio provides an expansive spread, allowing for a super-low bailout gear for the steepest climbs and a high gear for flat-out speed. This wide ratio offers highly efficient energy use through finer cadence control in ever-changing trail conditions.
2. XT 9-45T Wide Ratio Cassette
For riders who prefer a tighter, more race-oriented gear progression, the 9-45T ratio is the ideal choice. This cassette features a close-ratio gearing that enables more efficient energy use and finer cadence control, particularly for those who spend more time sprinting and riding on flatter, faster trails. The 9-tooth small cog allows for higher top speeds without the need for a larger chainring.
