Shimano
XT CS-M8000 11spd Cassette

Rhythm rider.

Shimano's 11-speed XT CS-M8000 features the Rhythm Step gear progression that made its debut on Shimano's top-of-the-line XTR groupset. With these close-step gear ratios calculated in conjunction with Shimano's 11-speed XT cranksets, you'll find smooth transitions from gear-to-gear that keep you climbing and charging without a hitch. The largest cog and spider are made from aluminum to maintain a low weight while the rest of the cogs are made from steel for the strength and durability that Deore XT is known for.

Compatible with Shimano / SRAM 9/10/11-speed freehubs. Will not work with XD drivers. Approximate weight is 440 g (11-42T).

Cog sizes:

• 11-40: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27, 31, 35, 40
• 11-42: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 28. 32, 37, 42
• 11-46: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 28, 32, 37, 46

Note: 11-46 cassettes are compatible with 1x drivetrains only. If switching from a smaller range cassette, a new chain will likely be required in order to accommodate the larger 46T cog. Compatible replacements include the Shimano XT HG701 Chain and the XTR HG901 Chain.
