Description:Shimano's M960 XTR cassette cogs offer the ultimate in reliable, smooth shifting for 9 speed drivetrains. Each cog is drilled out for lightness and mounted via a light alloy carrier that increases rigidity while reducing weight. To further reduce weight, the 4 largest cogs are constructed from titanium.

Date Reviewed: May 29, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | The Tower of Power! | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | light weight | | Weaknesses: | light weight might take away strength | | Similar Products Used: | XT, Dura Ace, and Ultegra | | Bike Setup: | shes a Specialized Sworks M5 hardtail, all XTR, King headset, Mavic CrossMax SL's, Thomson stem and post | | Bottom Line: | I'm contemplating on NOT getting this cassette again, but a few of the reviews are actually pretty good so I might decide to go with it again.....I was racing on Sunday5/25 and cracked this cassette on a hill which caused my foot to pop out of the pedal and bounce off the stem, which caused me to throw around cuss words like a sailor! I didnt have the middle range of gears after that but it wasnt bad enough for me to stop racing, I was still able to finish and actually do pretty good considering mt problem...this cassette can break! it doesnt mean it will, but it can happen... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
