Shimano SLX HG81 10 Speed Cassette

After three decades of creating MTB drivetrain, Shimano have firmly established themselves as one of the market leaders in the mountain bike industry, producing top-quality, performance-orientated and innovative components at affordable prices. The latest line for Shimano uses Dyna-Sys technology to form a stable drivetrain which even the roughest, rockiest, muddiest trails can't shake. The Deore XT and the SLX are Shimano's two best sellers in the MTB group, so they have taken these two sets, upgraded them with Dyna-Sys technology and created a 10-speed set-up to meet the demands of modern riders and ever-changing riding styles. The Shimano SLX HG81 MTB cassette is a high-performance cassette which is available in two gear combinations either 11-34 or 11-36 teeth. This Shimano mountain bike cassette allows for smooth shifting, even under load and is visually the same as the SLX 9-speed cassette but uses the new Dyna-Sys technology for optimum performance. When upgrading your bike cassette, it is advisable to also upgrade the chain to preserve the life of your cassette, the Shimano HG74 10-speed chain is an ideal choice.
