Shimano SLX CS-M7000 11-Speed Cassette Shimano’s CS-M7000 SLX 11-Speed Cassette is part of their third tier groupset which offers many of the performance features developed for XT and XTR at a much more palatable price. This makes a lot of sense for a consumable mountain bike part that will wear out sooner than other components. The Hyperglide sprockets have contoured shift gates that enable rapid shifting even under load or when covered in mud and the sprocket carrier has an open, lightweight design. Compatible with 11-speed chains and optimised for use with Shimano’s HG-EV MTB chains, the SLX cassette is a great option for anyone who likes to ride hard and often in all conditions.

Not smooth change, feels rough. Why did balle bikes not use same brand as bikes other components (sram)…it’s only silver component too - everything else is black. Will change back to coordinated components at extra expense…

Worked great for 1x upgrade. Used with XT shifter and medium cage XT derailleur and Shimano chain. Had to pair with off brand 42t crankset to achieve proper chain line on my old Trek fx.

Bought to upgrade to 1 x 11 speed drivetrain. 11-46t Range is nice but imagine not having a large jump between 1st and 2nd gear is nice too. Some other Shimano freehub splined cassettes do better, Box Two might be next when this wears out.No gripes on low end really, just top gears running a 34t (seen mostly 32t used) seem to be a bit weak. Noticed the same with SRAM 11-42t cassette with 32t chainring, mere one tooth less than what I'm running.Did not expect this to be similar to a SRAM cassette with individual cogs and spacers. Previous Shimano 8-10 speed cassettes I've used were all gears but the top as one assembly, top gear, and lock ring. Installation though is hard to mess up if it doesn't go as planned.

Upgraded from 11-42 to 11-46 for increased 1x range on a GRX setup. Works great with just b screw adjustment (Note: this is above the range Shimano recommends, but does come stock on bikes like the Evil Chamois Hagar). Great Shimano quality as expected.***For a road HG freehub body, you will need a 1.85 mm spacer behind the cassette.
I've always been a Shimano guy on the MTB, but I'm going to go with SRAM on the next rig. Here's why...The largest cogs on these 11-speed cassettes wear out very quickly and ridges develop, which creates an awful sound when pedaling in the lowest gears. This happened on the XT version as well that I had before. I bought the SLX hoping that it would be a little tougher because of the additional weight. My buddy's XT cassette did the same thing. Not very happy with the Shimano 11-speed setup. I clean and lube the chain every ride to try and extend the life of these components.
My Jones bike from 2014 is a forever bike. Built like a tank, no suspension to maintain, yet capable on 90% of the trails I encounter in Northern NJ, NY and beyond, albeit not as fast as railing tech downhills on an enduro rig, it still gets the job done. The drivetrain has been through a few iterations already, but I finally got my hands on this 11-46 cassette. I remember trying to get this the last time I needed a cassette, but couldn't find one and had to settle for a 40 tooth large cog (which still got the job done for 98% of the climbs I did). We don't have super long climbs in NJ, but they're still plenty steep. I know Eagle with it's dinner plate 51 large cog is the new standard, but this is one doesn't need a new hub driver and matching shifting system.
I bought this to make my gravel bike a little friendlier to my old man legs on some steep gravel climbs. Installed it with an Ultegra RX rear derailleur (shh...don't tell Shimano that I exceeded the 34 tooth max) and it works like a charm. It's not the lightest thing out there, but neither am I so we make a good team.
Shimano has always been known for trickling technology from their highest end components down to the lesser expensive groups. For those that want great performance without shelling out every pretty penny they have for the top of the line components, this is a great option. Crisp gear changes, nice finish, and awesome value.I switched my pop's drivetrain over from 2x10 to 1x with an SLX cassette and RD, XT chain and shifter, and a Race Face narrow wide chainring to simplify his riding. He's stoked and now I have one less derailleur and shifter to fiddle with when he needs a tune up.Jenson does a great job with pricing, fast shipping, and an awesome user experience when you open the box. It's the details that count, and it's obvious they're paying attention to them.
A good quality cassette from Shimano. Shifts smooth, but not as smooth as the new Shimano 12 speed products. This particular model lacks on the low end of the gear ratios. Smallest cog is 11 teeth, largest is 40. Many people who are used to pushing 10-50 cassettes might find this one way too small. The jumps between gears is smaller however, creating a smoother shifting experience and the ability to fine-tune cadence while pedaling. Overall a great product for the money... if you can find one to buy.
have two similar cassette: one is oem, the other one is slx one. the oem one is heavier and shifting performances is not great, always missing one gear, no matter how hard i try to adjust the shifter. shimano one is lighter, and the shifting performances are just great. i guess if you want the proper thing, just go for the shimano one.
