🦅 Sram NX Eagle 12-Speed Cassette: Unleashing Superior Performance Review

I used this 12 speed cassette as a replacement for my Shimano 11 speed cassette. It fits perfectly on the Shimano hub and works like a dream. This is the best choice for e-mountain bikes because all the gears are steel and last longer than other aluminum gears.

I recently rode 3000 miles on my 16 month old 2019 Trek Fuel EX 9.7 that came with this cassette. I have replaced the OEM chain with an NX chain and am in the process of replacing the NX chain with a GX chain. So I average about 1000 miles per chain, still on the original 1230 cassette. Again, best bang for your buck!

I've had no problems directly replacing the factory cassette on my 2019 Scott Genius. The fact that I had to replace it in the first place is the reason for the 4 stars. In my opinion, the trade-off between weight loss and strength has gone too far when it comes to weight loss. When I caught a branch while pedaling on a single track trail, two prongs bent and literally snapped the metal on one, rendering it beyond repair. I decided to replace the cassette with the Eagle GX, which is more…

This cassette gave me the opportunity to upgrade my old MTB 2x10 to 1x12spd. I've been looking at this option for a while, but didn't want to switch from a driver body to an XD driver body. When I saw that this 12 speed cassette was available for the 'regular' HG hub shell I started optimizing my upgrade. The only downside to this cassette running on an HG hub is the lack of a 10t gearing. That didn't bother me as I would never need such a high gear on my MTB. I have a 36 tooth sprocket, a SRAM

This is the second SRAM rear cassette I have installed on my e-bike. On my first NX Eagle chain and cassette combo, I ran the chain for too long (2500 miles) and overtightened it, accidentally wearing out the rear cassette. Dear mistake! At first I just tried changing my chain to fix a minor bug, but without changing the rear cassette the problem only got 100x worse. I rode for 2 days without letting my bike go into my slipper gears and immediately ordered this replacement. After it was…

My Trek Marlin is now constantly in use as a trainer. I was hoping that the always-problematic 3x9 gearing would be enough for a track-fired trainer. There is no such happiness. So, it's time to convert to 1x12. I bought this NX Eagle cassette to be compatible with my existing hubs (trainer and MTB wheel). My rebuild also included a GX Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur, GX Eagle chain, GX Eagle Dub cranks (175mm/32T), SRAM DUB BSA bottom bracket (68mm/73mm) and a 12-speed GX Eagle rear derailleur.
