Can I mix the Shimano XT CS-M771 cassette with Deore-level shifters and derailleurs?

Yes — Shimano 10-speed MTB components are cross-compatible across groupset tiers (Deore, SLX, XT). The cassette will shift reliably with Deore or SLX 10-speed shifters and derailleurs.

Is the CS-M771 heavier than current 11/12-speed XT cassettes?

The CS-M771 is a 10-speed cassette and slightly heavier than current 11/12-speed XT options, but offers excellent weight savings over all-steel entry cassettes and remains a strong choice for 10-speed drivetrains.
