Shimano XT CS-M8000 11-Speed Cassette – Precision Shifting for Mountain & E-Bikes

Engineered for demanding riders, the Shimano XT CS-M8000 11-speed cassette delivers reliable performance on rugged trails and e-MTB adventures. Its high-strength steel cogs (with a lightweight aluminum largest gear) ensure durability, while the nickel-plated finish combats corrosion and extends lifespan.

Key Features:

  • Rhythm Step Gearing: Optimized gear progression for smoother, more intuitive shifts, reducing fatigue on long climbs or technical descents.
  • E-Bike Ready: Tested to withstand the torque demands of electric mountain bikes.
  • Broad 11-46T Range: Tackles steep inclines and fast flats with a versatile gear spread.
  • Compatibility: Works with Shimano Dyna-Sys11 systems and most 9/10-speed MTB hubs (check hub flange clearance for larger cogs).
