Featured Shimano XT CS-M8100-12 Cassette + CN-M8100 12-speed Chain Wear & Tear Set

The Shimano XT CS-M8100 cassette + CN-M8100 chain set – for no-fuss gear changes

This Shimano XT wear set consists of CS-M8100-12 cassette and CN-M8100 chain. With it, you can tackle any trail and progress smoothly even on rough terrain.

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.

The Shimano XT CN-M8100 12 chain is a central component of the XT M8100 groupset and has therefore been optimised from the ground up. High-precision moulded contact surfaces to the chainring and cassette ensure precise, fast and smooth shifting in both directions, even under load. In addition, the CN-M8100 chain has chromed inner plates that noticeably increase durability.
