Are all Shimano 11 speed cassettes interchangeable?
Yes they are. The 11 speed cassettes of Shimano and Campagnolo have the same sprocket spacings and overall widths, so you can swap a Shimano wheel/freehub/11sp cassette with a Campagnolo wheel/freehub/11 speed cassette. Rest of the bike can be Shimano or Campag 11 speed, it doesn’t matter.
Can I use MTB cassette on road bike?
It is possible to use a mountain bike cassette with an even lower range on a road bike, but you’ll have to switch to a mountain bike rear derailer. The good news is that as long as you’re using a cassette with 9 speeds or less, this will work fine, even with a road bike shifter.

Can I use Dura Ace shifters with Ultegra derailleurs?
Answer: Great question, Ben! It is possible to mix and match as long as you get components from the same generation. For example: 9000 Dura Ace, 6800 Ultegra, and 5800 105 are all cross compatible. Each have 11-speeds in the rear, use the same cable pull per shift and use the same front derailleur design.

Can I put a 10 speed cassette on an 11 speed hub?
It will shift fine with a Shimano or SRAM 11-speed system. And in case any of you were wondering, if you have a 10-speed Shimano or SRAM system and buy a wheelset now, you can still run 10-speed cogs on that wheel. To put a 10-speed cogset on an 11-speed freehub, you just put a spacer behind the largest cog.
