Is it compatible with standard/regular Shimano hub ????. If I'm not mistaken, years ago, XTR and Dura-Ace had their own hub, I suspect that it has changed but not sure.
Early 10 speed dura ace freehubs had deeper/taller splines than standard shimano freehubs but they dropped that shortly afterwards. You can still use an early 10 speed cassette with the deep grooves on a standard shimano freehub, but not the other way around.
