FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Shimano
There's more to Shimano than this one product. Our Shimano page has the full Shimano lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Shimano page →How does the 11-42t differ from the 11-40t XT cassette?
The 11-42t offers slightly lower bailout gearing compared to the 11-40t, with a wider overall range. Riders who need more climbing capacity for steep or loaded terrain typically prefer the 11-42t.
Is this cassette compatible with all Shimano 11-speed MTB drivetrains?
Yes. The CS-M8000 uses the standard Shimano HG splined freehub body and is compatible with all Shimano 11-speed MTB drivetrains.
What chain is recommended?
Use a Shimano 11-speed MTB chain such as the CN-HG700, CN-HG701, or XTR CN-M9000 for optimal shifting performance.
