good mid-range product

- ERIC, 4 February, 2024

smooth shifting, but complicated when you want to change 3 or 4 gears at once. Otherwise good value for money with a decent lifespan.

Shifts perfectly and is not inferior to its more expensive brothers.

- Ronald, 10 April, 2023

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.

Pros & Cons

switches perfectly
very good value for money

Good buy

- Miguel, 1 June, 2022

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

- Lasse, 27 May, 2022

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.

Pros & Cons

Good price to quality ratio
Wears down a bit quickly

Best value for money cassette for XD cores

- Antton, 25 May, 2022

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

- Kris, 4 May, 2022

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.

Pros & Cons

Fits my XD body
Relatively affordable
10 is very small
Still expensive

black, simple, good

- Peter, 19 May, 2021

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.

Pros & Cons

Easy mounting
High bandwidth

Compactness

- Gianluca, 7 March, 2021

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

- Frank, 1 November, 2020

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.

Pros & Cons

High quality
Nice action together with the 12 speed chain!
Slightly more affordable

It’s a cassette. It does the job.

- Matt, 3 July, 2020

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........

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