Tackle every trail: the Shimano XT CS-M8100-12 Cassette


The Shimano XT CS-M8100 12-speed cassette is available in 10-45 T and 10-51 T versions. If you are looking for the lowest possible amount of gear steps, then the 10-45 tooth version is a good pick. If you want to cover as much bandwidth as possible, then opt for the 10-51 tooth version. Of course, all CS-M8100-12 cassettes feature Shimano Hyperglide+ technology for high shifting speed, precision and ease in up-/down-shifting. This has the added benefit of minimising noise. The spider as well as the two largest sprockets are made of aluminium, which contributes to weight reduction, robustness and durability.

Technology:

Hyperglide+ / HG+
Hyperglide+ is the efficient further development of the Hyperglide system by Shimano. These are shifting aids and specially shaped sprocket teeth that make shifting to larger or smaller sprockets suppler, smoother and quieter. The system of small rivets attached to the side of the sprocket and milled or pressed-in ramps ensures that the chain is already carried along by the next sprocket during the shifting process before it leaves the previous sprocket. Hyperglide+ is optimised for faster shifting and shifting under load and has a more efficient chain connection, holding power and power transfer when combined with a compatible HG chain. Compared to Hyperglide, the shifting time is reduced by one third and the pedal stroke is noticeably reduced. HG+ enables a completely new chain stability and thus offers a safe riding experience.

Micro Spline
Micro Spline is an innovative tooth profile on MTB freehub bodies from Shimano. All Shimano 12-speed MTB cassettes with a 10-tooth sprocket are equipped with Micro Spline freehub toothing. The significantly higher and finer toothing enables a stiffer connection between the cassette and the hub body. The resulting increased contact area ensures reliable power transmission, minimises wear and prevents deformation of the freehub and sprocket.
