Shimano Deore XT CS-M8000 cassette

Shimano XT CS-M8000 11-Speed Cassette

The Shimano CS-M8000 is the 11-speed cassette for the XT M8000 group. It offers a wide gear range with smooth shifting for optimal performance.

As with the XTR, the new DEORE XT M8000 offers the full range of 1x11, 2x11, and 3x11 gear ratios, making it possible to find the ideal drivetrain option for any riding style, performance level, or terrain. The RHYTHM STEP gearing ensures uninterrupted pedaling. The gear steps are chosen so that the jumps are minimized, keeping the cadence as constant as possible. Whether using a 1x, 2x, or 3x system, the rider's energy is always efficiently converted into forward motion, maintaining the flow on the trail.

For the new 2x11 and 3x11 drivetrains of the M8000 series, a wide gear range is available. Combined with the 11-40T cassette, it still provides close gear steps for smooth shifting. New is the specially developed 11-46T HG-X11 cassette (CS-M8000) for 1x11 systems, which offers the widest gear range Shimano has ever introduced.
