Mountain, road, and gravel riders all rely on the cassette to help them climb on the steeps, and sprint on the flats. Replacing your bike cassette can revive your shifting to a smooth, brand new feel. When replacing your cassette we recommend replacing your chain and chainrings.

Bicycle Cassettes – Improve Shifting, Power & Performance

A bicycle cassette is a key drivetrain component that determines how smoothly you shift and how efficiently you pedal. Whether you're climbing steep trails, sprinting on the road, or grinding gravel, the right gear range and cassette size make a huge difference in performance. Upgrading or replacing your cassette ensures better power transfer, smoother shifting, and a more efficient ride.

Types of Bicycle Cassettes

Road Bike Cassettes

  • Narrow-range cassettes (11-25T, 11-28T) – Ideal for high-speed road riding and racing with smaller gear jumps.
  • Wide-range cassettes (11-30T, 11-34T, 12-speed options) – Provides more low-end gearing for climbs, great for endurance riders.

Mountain Bike Cassettes

  • Wide-range (10-50T, 10-52T) – Essential for tackling steep, technical climbs and fast descents.
  • Boost & MicroSpline Options – Designed for modern 1x and 12-speed drivetrains with improved engagement.

Gravel & Adventure Bike Cassettes

  • Compact road-style options (11-34T, 11-36T) – Blends efficiency and climbing capability for mixed terrain.
  • Wide-range MTB-style cassettes (10-42T, 10-50T) – Ideal for loaded touring and bikepacking.

Key Features to Consider

✔ Gear Range & Teeth Count – Choose the right cassette size for your terrain and riding style.
✔ Drivetrain Compatibility – Ensure it matches your bike's speed setup (8, 9, 10, 11, or 12-speed).
✔ Lightweight & Durable Materials – Look for aluminum or titanium cogs for weight savings and longevity.
✔ Smooth & Precise Shifting – High-quality machining ensures crisp, reliable gear changes.

When to Replace Your Bike Cassette

✔ Skipping Gears & Poor Shifting – Worn cogs affect chain engagement.
✔ Excessive Chain Wear – A stretched chain can wear down the cassette prematurely.
✔ Upgrading to a New Drivetrain – A new derailleur may require a different gear range.
