I ran a 10-42 11 speed (XX1) cassette on a XD drive (obviously) with a 11 speed XT or XTR RD and an XTR shifter for several years. Worked well with XX1 or XTR 11 speed chains (the XX1 lasted a bit longer).
It was my way of making back the weight I was giving up by running an Onyx hub (so silent but so heavy before they developed the alloy axle and then the Vesper model).
