BikeisLife Posted May 4, 2019 Share If you want to run the shimano XTR cassette, you will need to change the free body on your hub. Only a few brands have this free body so it depends what hub you currently are using. If it’s compatible, you’ll need to get a new freehub, if it’s not, you’ll have to get a new compatible hub.

BaGearA Posted May 5, 2019 Share You need a new freehub, 12 speed xtr can only fit on microspline freehub and they only come on Shimano's new xtr hubs or limited Dt hubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted May 5, 2019 Share You need a new freehub, 12 speed xtr can only fit on microspline freehub and they only come on Shimano's new xtr hubs or limited Dt hubs You can buy a DT Swiss MicroSpline Freehub body to go onto your existing DT Swiss 240 & 350 hubs.(That might include Giant hubs as well... I think they are DT Swiss?) https://www.evobikes.co.za/dt-swiss-240-350-shimano-xtr-12-speed-micro-spline-rotor-kit.html gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Roberts Posted May 5, 2019 Share You can always get the 12 speed XTR derailleur, shifter and chain. Then match it with a Sun Race 11t - 50t cassette. The cassette will fit your current freehub, and has almost the same range. The Sun Race cassettes are also very durable, just a little bit heavier than the XTR cassette, but way cheaper. Remember to double check if you'll need a new hanger for the derailleur to be able to reach the 50t on the cassette. Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted July 1, 2019 Share This read was particularly interesting. https://enduro-mtb.com/en/shimano-xtr-m9100-vs-sram-x01-eagle-review/ There are very few reviewers that I take as serious as the Enduro Team. Matching a Sunrace Cassette with XTR M9100 or SRAM XO will be like running rim brakes on a Santa Cruze V10. BaGearA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
