XTR M970 12-34t Cassette

The benchmark of cross country component design

XTR® has been designed to give that expected Shimano reliability while adopting a new generation of shifting, drivetrain and braking systems. From the easy and flexible shifting performance of the Dual Control™ shift lever to the super-lightweight, linear response, & ultra-light disc brake design, XTR continues to be the benchmark of off-road cross-country component design.

Computer designed Hyperglide® (HG) sprockets incorporate specifically positioned shift ramps and tooth profiles for improved chain control during shifting. Fast and responsive indexed shifting is the result.

Shimano XTR M970 Cassette 2007 features Close-Ratio wide-range Mega-9 Gearing, light weight design, HG Sprokets design, and an Alloy Sprocket Carrier.

Weighing in at just 224g, the XTR M970 is Shimano's lightest mountain bike cassette.

• Exceptionally light, stiff and responsive, titanium sprockets provide superior shifting characteristics
• Three-piece alloy sprocket carrier reduces weight, increases sprocket stiffness and improves power transfer
• Using specially contoured tooth profiles, Hyperglide sprockets increase shift speed and chain control
• These profiles quickly guide the chain to next sprocket without override, which prevents slippage and shortens engagement time
