Producing such lightweight MTB cassette requires precision CNC machining. Largest gear is machined out of 7075-T6 aluminium alloy and anodized in our eye-catching range of 8 colors: black, blue, gold, green, orange, red, silver, violet. At the same time we mill 11 cassette cogs out of a single hardened steel billet and apply a durable nickel coating to provide maximum longevity.
Smooth shifting and no-compromise compatibility
Our 10-52T 12-speed cassette is engineered in such way that gear ratios are larger at slower speeds and smaller at higher speeds. This allows for smooth shifting at higher speeds and as result - more precise drivetrain operation. You can run our 10-52T cassette for Micro-Spline with any 12-speed chains, however we recommend using Shimano 12-speed chains for perfect shifting quality. Please note that long-cage (SGS) Shimano 12-speed derailleur is required for seamless cassette operation.
