Review on 🚴 SRAM PG1170 11-Speed Cassette: Optimal Performance and Durability for a Smooth Ride by Christopher Gulledge

With SRAM it sometimes makes sense to switch to Red, sometimes it doesn't. While the Red cartridges are beautiful and work great, they just aren't worth the premium compared to the Force. Weight savings aside, the 1170/Force offers everything Red has to offer in terms of performance. When you pair this cartridge with a 52/36 aspect ratio, you can't get past almost anything. Personally, I haven't come across a single climb where this cassette doesn't give me more than enough range to comfortably rotate. Shifting is smooth, especially when you pair it with a Red Level chain. All in all 1170/Force cartridges are fine as you get performance. Highly Recommended5 Stars Cheers!
