The 11-speed XT group, code-named M8000. The new XT for 2016 is largely nothing like the XTR at a much more affordable price, which was achieved by using cheaper, slightly heavier materials i.e. where in the case of the XTR we meet titanium and carbon - in the XT we have aluminum or steel. Interestingly, cheaper doesn't mean inferior, as in many cases the durability may even be greater in the new XT. Delivering the highest quality 11-speed drivetrain, the Shimano DEORE XT M8000 elevates the solutions of the original group designed for mountain biking, combining four individual riding styles to offer endless riding adventures.
