What is a HyperGlide cassette?
Hyperglide is the name given by cycling component manufacturer Shimano to a sprocket design in their bicycle derailleur tooth cassette systems. It varies gear tooth profiles, and/or pins along the faces of freewheel or cassette sprockets, or between the chainrings in a crankset, to ease shifting between them.

Can you put XD driver on Shimano hub?
Currently Shimano is just about the only hub and wheel manufacturer not offering an XD-driver option. Likewise, Shimano’s new 11-speed XTR and XT drivetrains do not use an XD-compatible cassette, and so are limited to an 11T smallest cog.
