SRAM RED AXS XG-1290 Cassette

No, this cassette is designed exclusively for 12-speed SRAM RED AXS electronic drivetrains. It requires a Flattop chain and is not backward compatible with 11-speed systems.

Yes, you will need a standard cassette lockring tool, but ensure your hub is equipped with an XDR driver body. This cassette is not compatible with standard HG (HyperGlide) freehub bodies.

The 10-tooth cog allows for a wider gear range without sacrificing the tight gear steps needed for efficient pedaling. It enables you to run a smaller chainring up front while maintaining top-end speed.

The Stealth finish provides a sleek, monochromatic aesthetic that blends seamlessly with modern bike builds. Beyond the look, the X-Dome construction remains the same, offering the same lightweight and durable performance as the standard version.

No, this cassette is specifically engineered for wireless electronic shifting systems. The tooth profiles and shift ramps are optimized for the precise, automated movement of an AXS derailleur.
