SRAM S500 XG-1299 Eagle Cassette – Lightweight Performance with a 520% Gear Range
The SRAM S500 Eagle XG-1299 Cassette is SRAM’s flagship 12-speed MTB cassette, offering an exceptional combination of lightweight construction, incredible durability and a huge 520% gear range. Formerly known as the XX1 Eagle XG-1299, the newly renamed S500 continues to deliver the same race-proven performance trusted by elite riders around the world.
Designed for XD driver bodies, the XG-1299 features SRAM’s innovative X-Dome™ architecture, machining the cassette from a single block of high-grade steel for outstanding strength whilst keeping weight impressively low. The large 10-52T gear range gives riders the freedom to run a larger chainring for increased top-end speed without sacrificing climbing ability on steep technical trails.
Available in stunning Gold or Rainbow finishes, the S500 Eagle cassette is as visually impressive as it is mechanically capable, making it the perfect finishing touch for any premium mountain bike build.
