It is 4 speed external cogs compatible (X4Ceramic). You will need to source your own spacers, cogs (shimano 9 splines). We will only include 2 sizes of snap rings (1.2, 1.5, 1.8 or 2mm. Pick 2 during checkout in "order comment". 1.2 and 1.8 will be default if not specified)

1. 4 speed upgrade will require more skill and patience than the 3 speed upgrade, which is most stock parts compatible.
2. For 4 speed upgrade, you will need improved tensioner and jocky wheel (for over 19t cog, some can take up to 27t). Longer travel chain pusher (DR spring set). We are in the process of sourcing and reviewing these 3rd party upgrade parts.
3. For now, you can just use the Combo kit as 3 speed upgrade as a start and reserve the possibility for future 4 speed upgrade project.
4. 11 speed chain is ideal for these thin profile cogs.
