Shimano - XTR CS-M9100 12-speed Cassette
Soft and precise shifts have always been a hallmark of Shimano cassettes. With the Hyperglide cassettes of the last generations, the pinions were placed in such a way that, especially when shifting to a larger pinion, the chain runs extremely smoothly and with low vibration. Hyperglide + introduces the XTR M9100 cassette. Thanks to this technology, gearshifts now run smoothly even when shifting to a heavier gear and are 1/3 faster than the CS-M9000 cartridge.
When designing the cassette, Shimano relies on a material mix of steel, titanium and aluminum in the pinions. While the smallest sprockets with the least chain wrap and highest load are made of steel, the middle sprockets are made of titanium and the largest sprockets are made of aluminum. This load-oriented use of material leads to a uniform wear of the cassette and also extends the life of the chain. The cassette is held together by an aluminum spider.
