SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette - XDR | 12-speed - silver - Special Offer

The RED XG-1290 is the workhorse among SRAM's X-RANGE™ cassettes and not only shifts quickly, but also smoothly thanks to its wide gear range. The 12-speed cassette was specially developed for the requirements of the electronic eTap AXS wireless shifting systems and offers the greatest possible weight savings thanks to its elaborate, one-piece design. It works perfectly in combination with the Flattop® chain of the RED series and SRAM's eTap AXS front derailleur components.

Features of the SRAM RED XG-1290 cassette

• Revised design for smoother and faster shifting
• X-DOME™ design with a very lightweight sprocket set milled from a steel block
• progressive gear gradation (at least five gear steps with only one tooth)
• small sprocket with 10 teeth to extend the gear range
• compatible with XDR freewheels

Manufacturer's note: Only suitable for use with Flattop® chains.

X-RANGE™ | In order to do justice to the diverse areas of application of modern road cycling, a drive system is required that offers the right gear in every situation. Since shifting operations on the rear derailleur are inherently more efficient than on the chainring, X-RANGE™ shifts part of the gear range from the front to the rear. While a smaller, uniform difference of always 13 teeth is used between the chainrings, the cassettes can offer a wider gear range of up to 360 %.

X-DOME™ | The one-piece design of the X-DOME™ technology creates incredibly light, precise and robust cassettes. The open design not only repels dirt better, it also gives the component a longer service life and smoother shifting performance.
