Explore SRAM Cassettes at BIKE24
Alongside the drivetrain giant from Japan, SRAM is one of the world’s biggest suppliers of groupsets. That’s why the lineup covers nearly every riding style – from road and gravel to MTB. The differences lie in gearing, materials, and the technologies each series uses. To help you choose the right cassette, here’s a clear look at the most important families and what sets them apart.
SRAM MTB Cassettes – Lightweight Builds, Wide Ranges
SRAM produces MTB cassettes for every style of off-road riding – from cross-country to enduro. Across the board, Eagle technology ensures reliable shifting and precise chain control by pairing a SRAM chainring with a perfectly matched 12-speed cassette.
- SX/NX Eagle (12-speed): Affordable wide-range options (11–50T or 11–52T). Great for beginners and e-MTBs. Compatible with Shimano HG freehubs.
- GX Eagle (12-speed): A versatile all-rounder for ambitious riders. 10–52T range for maximum flexibility. Fits XD freehubs.
- X01/XX1 Eagle (12-speed): Premium, lightweight cassettes built for racing. Available in 10–50T or 10–52T – ideal for XC and enduro.
- Eagle Transmission (T-Type, 12-speed): SRAM’s latest technology for maximum precision and durability. Only compatible with SRAM Transmission drivetrains.
SRAM Road Bike Cassettes: Proven in Professional Cycling
The road bike cogsets use X-Range technology for narrow gradations and a wide 2x12-speed range:
- Rival AXS (12-speed): Affordable and versatile. 10-30T or 10-36T for all-road to longer climbs.
- Force AXS (12-speed): Lightweight and durable. Perfect for ambitious riders, with gradations such as 10-28T or 10-33T.
- Red AXS (12-speed): high-end cassettes for minimal wear and maximum weight tuning. Ideal for road cyclists.
SRAM Gravel & Cyclocross Cassettes – Fast Shifting on Mixed Terrain
With the XPLR family, SRAM offers dedicated gravel gearing in both 12-speed and 13-speed (RED XPLR) versions. These cassettes are tuned for rapid shifts and wide ranges suited to variable terrain. Models like the XG-1391 10–46T deliver gearing that’s perfect for rolling gravel routes and loose surfaces.
SRAM Cassettes for Trekking & E-Bikes – Durable for Everyday Riding
If you are looking for a SRAM cogset for everyday use, the PG-1210 and PG-1230 (12-speed) are the right choice. These robust SX/NX-series cassettes are designed for e-bikes and trekking bikes and are compatible with HG freewheels.
Buying a SRAM Cassette – What to Look out For
To make sure everything fits when you upgrade, keep the following in mind:
- Intended use & quality: Decide whether you need a SRAM cassette for MTB, road, gravel, or trekking bikes. Make sure the quality level matches your groupset – whether it’s a SRAM 12 speed cassette from the Eagle lineup or a SRAM 11 speed cassette for an older drivetrain.
- Gradation & gear range: SRAM offers options from compact gearing (e.g. 10–28T for flat terrain) to extremely wide ranges (e.g. 10–52T for steep climbs). Pick the range that suits your terrain and riding style.
- Compatibility: The number of sprockets must match your drivetrain. Most modern setups run 12 speeds; older groupsets typically use 10 or 11. Also ensure that the cassette fits the freehub body of your wheel.
- Freehub standards: SRAM cassettes are available for different freehub types:
- HG freewheel: For 10-/11-speed and affordable 12-speed cassettes (e.g. SX/NX)
- XD freewheel: For high-quality 12-speed Eagle MTB cassettes (GX, X01, XX1) with a 10-tooth start
- XDR freehub: For road bike cassettes with a 10-tooth start
