Shimano follows suit and also relies on a 12-speed drive for the SLX M7100 group. In contrast to the competition, the Japanese give the biker the choice whether he prefers a maximum bandwidth (10-51 teeth) or a more narrowly graded cassette with lower cadence jumps when shifting (10-45 teeth). The former particularly appeals to riders who want to pedal long and steep climbs with high cadence.
