Shimano *Mountain 11 speed* works on a Shimano 9 speed hub. Shimano *Road 
11 speed* will not. The mountain cassettes have large inner cogs that can 
overhang the hub flange (the outer 3 cogs are connected) and thus use the 
narrower 9 speed cassette spacing. The road cassettes have smaller inner 
cogs and cannot overhang the hub flange, therefore they require a wider 
cassette spacing. The idea behind the mountain cassette is to have wider 
spacing between the flanges allowed by the narrower cassette and less dish, 
therefore having a stronger wheel.
