How To: MTB Cassette Replacement Made Easy!
With the right tools, replacing the cassette on your MTB is a quick and easy task. We’ll show you how it’s done.
Whether it’s a race bike, trail bike or enduro bike: with a Shimano MTB drivetrain, you benefit from precise shifting performance and proven durability off-road. Find the right Shimano MTB drivetrain for your setup – from the high-end XTR groupset for race-ready performance to the reliable Deore drivetrain for beginners. Discover derailleurs, cassettes and cranksets for 1x12-speed and 2x12-speed systems with maximum shifting performance.
With the 1x12-speed DEORE crankset you get the same DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ technology as on the XTR, DEORE XT and SLX cranks, which guarantees both the chain retention on the chainring and smooth, quiet pedalling.
The DEORE 12-speed MICROSPLINE cassette with a gradation of 10-51 teeth takes shifting to a whole new level. The unique HYPERGLIDE+ technology allows you to shift quickly and reliably at any time, no matter whether you shift to one of the 12 larger or smaller stainless steel sprockets.
Crisp and precise shifting is guaranteed with the DEORE 12-speed rear derailleur. In addition, SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ technology optimises the chain's grip on sprockets and chainrings, which means the chain slaps less and your drivetrain makes much less noise.
RAPIDFIRE PLUS and TWO-WAY RELEASE guarantee precise, fast and comfortable gear changes on the new 12-speed shifter. As with XTR, DEORE XT and SLX, I-Spec EV allows you even more individualisation around the shifter and brake levers.
