The new XT 11-speed cassette impresses with excellent shifting performance, low weight and high wear resistance. Due to a fine gradation optimized for 1x11, 2x11 and 3x11 drives, the gear changes are extremely precise and with short shift pauses.
An intelligent material mix of aluminum and steel increases the service life, but at the same time reduces the weight of the cassette.
For example, the main body (spider), the lock ring and the largest sprocket are made of aluminum to save weight. The remaining sprockets, on the other hand, are made of steel, which not only reduces wear but also generates more rigidity so that all the power can be converted into propulsion.
The cassette with the wide 11-42 tooth gradation is specially designed for 1x11 and 2x11 circuits
