The XT CS-M8000 11-speed cassette by Shimano – advanced Rhythm Step options

The Shimano XT CS-M8000 11-speed cassette offers the full range of 1×11-speed, 2×11-speed and 3×11-speed gear ratios, so there’s something for every type of rider, terrain and performance level. Dyna-Sys11 technology and Rhythm Step cassette gradation ensure small gear jumps and thus a constant cadence and uninterrupted flow on the trail. 10 sprockets from the CS-M8000 are made of steel, the largest sprocket (or the 2 largest sprockets for 11-46) of aluminium.

Technology:

Dyna-Sys11
Dyna-Sys11 is the name of the 11-speed shifting system for MTBs from Shimano. The focus lies on maintaining the pedalling rhythm both on flat ground and on uphill segments. The gear ratios are selected so that you make efficient progress in the most frequently used gear range and do not have to shift gears as much (” Rhythm Step” ).
