Description
SRAM GX Eagle Transmission XS-1275 T-Type 12-Speed Cassette 10-52T – Black
The SRAM GX Eagle Transmission XS-1275 T-Type Cassette is at the heart of SRAM’s revolutionary Eagle Transmission drivetrain system, delivering outstanding shifting performance even under maximum power. Designed specifically for the demands of modern mountain biking, this cassette provides incredibly smooth and precise gear changes whether you’re sprinting, climbing, or putting down full power through technical terrain.
Featuring SRAM’s advanced Full X-SYNC tooth profile technology, shifting performance actually improves under load, allowing riders to shift confidently while pedalling hard without hesitation or compromise.
With an enormous 520% gear range, the XS-1275 cassette offers climbing gears for the steepest ascents alongside high-speed gears for fast descents and flat-out efforts. SRAM has refined the lower gear progression by introducing larger 38T and 44T cogs before the 52T sprocket, resulting in smoother and more usable gear transitions where riders need them most.
Constructed using a combination of Pindome technology for cogs 1-8 and a lightweight MINI-CLUSTER design for cogs 9-12, the cassette delivers an excellent balance of durability, stiffness and weight.
The integrated Setup Cog makes installation straightforward and helps ensure perfect setup every time – fits on XD freehub bodys
⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION ⚠️
This cassette is ONLY compatible with SRAM Eagle Transmission (T-Type) drivetrains and SRAM T-Type Flattop chains.
It is NOT compatible with:
❌ Standard Eagle 12-speed chains
❌ SRAM XX1 Eagle chains
❌ SRAM X01 Eagle chains
❌ SRAM GX Eagle chains (non-T-Type)
❌ SRAM NX Eagle chains
❌ Shimano 12-speed chains
❌ KMC 12-speed chains
❌ Any non-Transmission drivetrain components
This cassette has been specifically engineered around SRAM’s new T-Type Transmission architecture and MUST be used with a SRAM T-Type Flattop chain to function correctly.
Using a conventional Eagle chain or any non-T-Type chain will result in poor shifting performance, accelerated wear and potential drivetrain damage.
For correct operation, this cassette should be paired with:
- SRAM XX SL Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
- SRAM XX Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
- SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
- SRAM GX Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
It is also designed exclusively for use with SRAM Eagle Transmission rear derailleurs and cranksets.
If you’re unsure about compatibility with your bike or current drivetrain, please contact us before ordering and we’ll be happy to help.
