SRAM RED AXS XG-1290 Cassette: Precision Shifting for Demanding Riders

Unlock smoother transitions and a broader gear spread with the SRAM RED AXS XG-1290 cassette – the intelligent heart of any high-performance electronic drivetrain upgrade. Engineered specifically for wireless AXS systems, this 12-speed marvel delivers an exceptionally wide 10-33T range starting from its revolutionary 10-tooth cog. Experience remarkably fluid progression across gears with at least five consecutive single-tooth jumps (10-11-12-13-14-15), eliminating disruptive gaps while maintaining expansive versatility for steep climbs or blistering sprints.

Why Riders Choose the XG-1290:

  • Seamless Electronic Integration: Optimized for flawless performance with SRAM RED AXS eTap shifters and derailleurs – essential for road cyclists seeking peak wireless precision.
  • Unmatched Gear Progression: Enjoy closer ratios where you need them most (10-15T) combined with a broad overall range (10-33T), perfect for competitive racing or challenging endurance rides where cadence is critical.
  • Superior Lightweight Construction: The innovative one-piece X-Dome™ design is precision-machined from steel, achieving significant weight reduction (211g) without sacrificing crucial durability demanded by aggressive riding.
  • Exclusive Compatibility: Requires an SRAM XDR driver body – ensure your wheelset is ready for this cutting-edge component before upgrading your road bike drivetrain.

Experience the Difference:
