Sorry I should have explained. The 8spd cassette, deore xt rear, alivio shifter, tektro pulls and wider tires are all upgrades I've done myself. The rest is alll stock.
Its an older deore xt. The new ones look super sweet tho.
But yes its a 2011 mountaineer. Last year they made em before they switched to their new frames
It originally came with 7spd altus rear and altus one piece shifter brakepull combo
