Description
The Shimano XTR CS-M9200 12-Speed Cassette delivers high-performance shifting with exceptional durability, tailored for riders who demand precision under pressure. Available in two configurations—9-45T and 10-51T—the CS-M9200 takes full advantage of HYPERGLIDE+ technology, offering seamless, lightning-fast shifts even under high load. The 9-45T option provides a compact 500% gear range, making it ideal for lightweight XC builds when paired with a smaller chainring and the mid-cage XTR rear derailleur. This setup maximizes clearance and efficiency without sacrificing gear coverage, making it perfect for riders focused on low weight and speed on rolling terrain.
The 10-51T version expands the range to 510%, offering broader gearing for enduro and trail use while maintaining smooth, consistent performance across the cassette. Both versions are built using a strategic blend of steel, titanium, and alloy cogs to ensure the ideal balance of strength, weight savings, and long-term durability. Designed to fit MICRO SPLINE freehub bodies, the CS-M9200 cassettes mount using Shimano’s dedicated TL-LR021 lockring tool. Whether you’re racing XC or tackling technical climbs and descents, the CS-M9200 cassette series delivers the ultimate in drivetrain refinement, gear progression, and performance reliability in Shimano’s top-tier 12-speed platform.
