Get the best of both worlds with this wide - range and tight - jump cassette. It's our lightest and most durable option, breaking new ground in gearing choices. There are four distinct cassette options, including the first 10 - 30T and 10 - 36T RED cassettes. Each comes with secure shift ramps tailored for electronic shifting, whether you're racing on a 10 - 28T road bike or setting up an all - road bike with a 10 - 36T. The carefully selected tooth jumps ensure you stay in the right gear during steep climbs and when making precise adjustments before a sprint. It's designed for smooth and rapid shifting, with a gradual gear progression between cogs (at least five one - tooth jumps on 10 - 28T, 10 - 30T, and 10 - 33T cassettes) while still offering a broader range. Starting with a 10 - tooth cog provides a wider gearing scope. The 10 - 30T and 10 - 36T options are available in RED for the first time. It's engineered to work with an XDR driver body and features a one - piece machined steel X - DOME design for weight reduction. Available in 10 - 28T, 10 - 30T, 10 - 33T, and 10 - 36T.
Using this SRAM XG - 1290 E1 cassette is a breeze. First, make sure your bike has an XDR driver body as it's designed to work specifically with it. When you're riding, the smooth and fast shifting will allow you to change gears quickly. During steep climbs, rely on the well - chosen tooth jumps to keep you in the right gear. For sprinting, make those fine gear adjustments with ease. As for maintenance, regularly clean your cassette with a bike cleaner and a brush. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Check the cogs periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice excessive wear, it might be time to replace the cassette. Also, be gentle when shifting gears to ensure the long - term durability of the cassette.
