SRAM Force E1 XG-1270 12-Speed Cassette

SRAM Force E1 XG-1270 12-Speed Cassette

The SRAM Force E1 XG-1270 12-Speed Cassette offers smooth and precise shifting across a wide range of terrain thanks to SRAM’s X-Range technology. It is nickel plated for durability and uses 123 stainless steel pins for additional stiffness. In addition, the X-DOME design helps clear debris like mud and dirt from the cassette so you have smooth shifting regardless of the weather.

The Force E1 XG-1270 cassette is available in four sizes, each designed to best suit the terrain you ride the most. The 10-28T offers tighter gaps between gears for flat and fast riding while the 10-36T offers a wide range for tackling hard climbs. This cassette works with XDR freehub bodies, which allows it to have a 10T cog to keep you pedaling on fast descents.
