Sweeeet Upgrade! Finally in stock!
Upgraded from an 11-42 11 speed SRAM NX system to this 10-51 12 speed shimano setup. This cassette's range is no joke, and it is surprisingly light thanks to the aluminum cogs. Some say if you do a lot of climbing the alu cogs may wear faster than steel though. Make sure you have a shimano microspline freehub body! When installing, pay close attention to the spacers. One is a 2mm, one is a 1mm. The 2mm goes on first. Take your time lining up the last 2 cogs; the 10t actually sits on the 12t instead of the freehub body. I almost had the lockring threaded on even though the 10t was incorrectly aligned on the 12t. Performs as well as I expected, I noticed the downshifts are SLIGHTLY SLOWER but MUCH SMOOTHER than older systems. I think this is because the chain uses the new "down" ramps on the cogs instead of just dropping onto the cog. I adjusted pretty quickly, and the XT shifter can drop 2 gears at a time which is awesome.
Life long XT addict.
Still one of Shimano’s best workhorses. The XT level is still the best bang for the buck always a dependable offering with the looks to match. No need to go any higher unless you absolutely love wasting money to shed some grams. Better off losing that weight on your person.
Great Cassette.
REI's shop got this installed for me days before the MOCO EPIC...didn't have a chance to ride before the event, but this performed great for all 8 hours of the ride (I'm slow), no skips and jambs just smooth gear changes.
