Like its XTR sibling, DEORE XT M8000 offers 1x11, 2x11, and 3x11 crank options to satisfy any type of rider ability level or terrain. New 2x11 and 3x11 M8000 drivetrains, expand range while maintaining even better rhythm when paired with an 11-40T cassette for optimized cadence control. An exciting addition for DEORE XT M8000 is a 1x11 specific 11-46T cassette that expands Shimano’s 1x11 gear range slightly over the race inspired 11-40T of XTR.

Technologies
Dyna-Sys11
The real advantage of 11-speed is the ability to have all the range you require without sacrificing the rhythm you need.
HG
The distinctively designed HYPERGLIDE sprockets incorporate specially positioned shift ramps and tooth profiles for improved chain control during shifting. Fast and responsive indexed shifting is the result. The HG cassette sprocket, which was developed for 10-speed system, underwent comprehensive optimization to achieve super-highly efficient shifting.
