Description
The Lightest Cassette For The Heaviest Gravel Roads
What could you possibly want from a gravel cassette? Lightweight, big range, and clean shifting. The SRAM XG-1271 XPLR 10-44 12-Speed Cassette does this, and more.
The 440% range of the XPLR 10-44T cassette provides smooth gear progression when you're sweating up gravel climbs, and tight jumps on the high end for when it's time to drill it on asphalt.
Shift features on each cog are optimized for electronic shifting, so you'll get fast, smooth, and precise shifts every time.
Weighing only 373g the XG-1271 model is the lightest gravel-specific cassette SRAM can make. Weight savings in rotating areas of the bicycle significantly increase its overall efficiency.

Reviews
I was skeptical about going with a 1x drivetrain on my new gravel rig, but decided to give it a try...and I'm glad I did. One note before saying more, I am running a 38T chainring with this cassette rather than the more popular 40T setup. But with this combination I have a very hard time telling the difference between this and a 46/33T double up front with a 10-36T in the back...it's that close. There is one point in the cassette where there is a somewhat pronounced jump...somewhere around the 4th or 5 sprocket when your upshifting...but other than that the jumps between the cogs is very smooth. After running this I can see how 1x systems may become more prevalent on road bikes. This certainly rocks the gravel scene. Kudos to SRAM and to BTD for making this available at an affordable price.
Summary says it all, it's a For e cassette which means shifts are smooth and crisp. It helps that it's even fairly light considering it's size! Wouldn't buy another XPLR cassette.
