Garbaruk 12-speed MTB cassette for SRAM XD freehub is a lightweight, stiff and durable choice for demanding mountain bike and gravel riding. It is designed for riders who want a wide gear range without unnecessary mass and consistent, precise shifting even under high load.
The cassette is CNC-machined as a monoblock from heat-treated steel. Eleven smaller sprockets are made from a single solid piece, while the largest 52T sprocket is produced from 7075-series aluminum to reduce weight. The result is an exceptionally rigid structure that does not flex under torque and maintains accurate shifting over long-term use.
The 10-52T version offers a 520 percent gear range that works reliably across a wide variety of riding conditions. Shifting remains smooth even when backpedaling, and chain drop does not occur in a correctly adjusted drivetrain. The cassette is compatible with SRAM 12-speed Eagle rear derailleurs and uses the SRAM XD freehub body. Eagle Transmission, also known as T-type, is not compatible. See the Garbaruk T-type cassette here.
Weight is approximately 357 grams. This makes the cassette lighter than most comparable options while remaining clearly more affordable.
This cassette is especially well suited for riders building a lightweight, high-performance MTB or gravel bike and who value simple, functional and mechanically refined engineering.
