Shimano XT M8200 12-speed Cassette

The Shimano Deore XT CS-M8200 12-speed cassette marks the next evolution in MTB drivetrains from the Japanese manufacturer. It features an optimized version of HYPERGLIDE+ technology, boasting redesigned tooth profiles engineered to deliver even smoother, quieter, and ultra-fast gear changes, even under the heaviest pedalling loads.

Still designed for the Micro Spline freehub body standard, the XT M8200 cassette utilizes a strategic hybrid construction combining steel for high-wear sprockets and aluminium for the largest sprockets, ensuring an exceptional weight-to-durability ratio.

It is available in two complementary configurations:

• 10-51T Version (510% Range): The most versatile cassette offering the widest gear range to conquer the steepest climbs with maximum compatibility.
• 9-45T Version (500% Range): An ultra-compact and lightweight option, ideal when paired with a medium-cage rear derailleur and smaller chainrings, delivering optimal efficiency without sacrificing versatility.
