Both cassettes feature Beam Spider technology for increased weight savings, rigidity and durability. The main difference from XT is one less alloy sprocket and a slightly heavier spider. They also feature the Hyperglide+ technology found in XTR, offering Shimano's smoothest ever shifts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 10-51T Wide Range cassette is perfect for riders after a huge range on their 1x set up. It offers a 510% range with smart gear steps for the ultimate climbing machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 10-45T Rythm Step cassette still offers an excellent 450% range but is designed with the perfect ratio in mind. You will give up the super-easy climbing gear but gain more even spacing between the gears and the ability to run a shorter cage derailleur. It can be used with either 1x or 2x setups. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\t\t\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho's this item for:\u003c\/b\u003e Any riders after a 12-speed cassette with excellent shifting performance. \u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\t\t\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of gears: \u003c\/b\u003e12 speeds. \u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\t\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space:pre\"\u003e\t\t\t\t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e The SLX version is only slightly heavier than XT.
