Compatibility

Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 is a Shimano cassette. It is a 12-speed component. Everything listed below was matched on a specification we hold for both parts: the interface each pairing actually depends on, such as freehub body, speed count, actuation or mounting standard. Where we could not verify that interface, the part is left out rather than assumed to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fits Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100?

On this page we list rear derailleurs for this cassette, wheels with a compatible freehub, chains for this cassette. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.

Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100?

No. Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 is a 12-speed component and needs a 12-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.

Which wheels does Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 fit?

Shimano DEORE XT HYPERGLIDE+ CASSETTE 12s M8100 needs a rear wheel or rear hub with a MICROSPLINE freehub body. It cannot be fitted to a front wheel, and it will not fit a rear hub built for a different freehub standard without changing the freehub body.
