Features: Compatibility: Shimano Deore XT CS-M760 9-speed cassettes. Number of teeth: 12 teeth, a sprocket in the mid-range that helps maintain a good gear range, suitable for mixed terrain and smooth shifting under various conditions. Cassette position: The 12T sprocket is typically one of the middle gears in common configurations such as 11–34T or 11–32T, where it provides a good balance between easy pedaling on flat terrain and the ability to climb.

Hyperglide technology: Utilizes the Hyperglide system for faster, more precise shifting, even under load. Weight: Compared to other sprockets, the 12T is quite lightweight, thanks to the material combination and construction designed to reduce the overall weight of the cassette.
