good mid-range product
smooth shifting, but complicated when you want to change 3 or 4 gears at once. Otherwise good value for money with a decent lifespan.
4 / 5
Shifts perfectly and is not inferior to its more expensive brothers.
With proper maintenance over 7000 km driven. In the beginning I regularly changed the chain, which increases the lifespan. After some time (plm 5000 km) everything wears too much together but it still works flawlessly so you can still ride on for a few thousand km. Eventually you will have to replace the entire drivetrain at some point and then I think price/quality of GX is fine. I do use an XO chain then though.

Good buy
The product meets all my expectations and arrived within 4 days. The only downside is that the delivery company did not give references of how the process was going or what day it was going to arrive, otherwise everything ok.

Good price to quality ratio
The GX cassette is a lot cheaper that the top range cassettes in the Sram family. Still it works very well, has low weight and precise shifting. I was a bit surprised though, that my first cassette had to changed after less than 2000 km. I hope the next one will last longer if I run two chains in shift. The 10-50T range is more that needed in my usual terrain. In fact I would have referred 11-50T or 11-48T, but it seems the manufacturers a determined to offer even wider range cassettes these days.

Best value for money cassette for XD cores
Although it is the cheapest SRAM cassette for XD cores, this cassette goes very well. In my experience it can withstand more than 5000kms in northern Spain (very muddy) without problems. Mantel's price seems very competitive to me although I have to say that the cassette seems expensive to me.

Relatively affordable cassette with a wide range
Cassette does what it is intended for and is nice / well packaged. Personally I would have preferred 11-50 or 12-50, but this is just the SRAM way. Those small cogs are not very efficient and the times I need a 10 in a year are close to 0. I don't think it's worth the extra cost of its big brother, which costs double. Then this is just a very good option.

Good value for money
I've been using SRAM Eagle cassettes for 6 years now, and they're very durable and easy to shift.

black, simple, good
Drove previously a 11/42 cassette. Now with 52T I come up the hill more relaxed. Shift comfort so far with the new GX AXS flawless. However, packaging should be without plastic.

quickly worn out and expensive.
Easy de/assembly. Worn out quickly. Overly expensive packaging. Product is comparatively far too expensive.

Compactness
Excellent transmission I am very scrupulous about cleaning but despite this the chain should be replaced at no more than 1200 km so as not to compromise the other components too

Price/quality perfectly balanced
Of course a new cassette is always painful... Especially if you choose the even more expensive 12 speed version from Sram! Therefore, this XG-1275-GX is also a good choice, works just as well, is more affordable and that extra weight? Oh well, not that much.

It’s a cassette. It does the job.
A like for like replacement on my orange 5. It seems to do the job and has cured my drivetrain woes (along with a new chain and chainring). Man, when did these drivetrains get so expensive........

cracking price for Eagle
Great for the price. Fantastic range, although ratios could be spaced a bit more evenly.
