So I have a XD wheel which I want to put on a bike that already has 11 speed shimano, Can I get an 11 speed cassette like sunrace or something that will fit XD and work well with Shimano?
yip, any 11 speed will work. SRAM or Sunrace. That's what I use on 2 x bikes
yup,i run an x01 11 speed with an xt setup
works lovely
11 speed GX casette with everything else 11 speed Shimano here. As per the other threads, it does seem to be the best balance of value/perfomance/weight for 11 speed.
Works really well.
That 10t little cog means you can go smaller on the chainring too and brings the whole system weight and size down.
As above, SRAM XG1175 cassette and SRAM chain with SLX 11 speed mech and XT 11 speed shifter. Works perfectly. I think it's important to get the SRAM chain to go with the SRAM cassette, but the Shimano mech and shifter work fine.
The way cassettes eat Shimano free hubs means I think in the long run XD is probably cheaper. Pretty sure my DT free hub has only had a single 11Speed Sunrise cassette on it, but that knackered it enough that the new Shimano cassette creaks.
Thanks folks. Lots of quality advice.
In my experience the micro spline freehub is much more robust than the old Shimano design so the above might not be true.
SRAM XD last a lot better too, and are lighter.

Though he's looking for 11 speed - isn't micro spline 12 speed only?

although saying that, my XD free hub on Hope hub had the bearings disintegrate in a way I've never seen any hub/freehub do before in not-that-long. Middle bearing was just fragments when I got it apart.
sorry forgot about the 11 speed bit!
