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.
