Description

The HELIX R Cassette is an upgrade to any SRAM Eagle or Shimano drivetrain, with more range than any other cassette on the market. The 9 tooth cog lets you step down one chainring size while keeping the same top-end gearing and provides not only better ground clearance but an overall lighter drivetrain.

The improved tooth profile of the Helix cassette's features Shimano 12-speed level shifting performance with the improved reliability of a steel and aluminium assembly. The Intergalactic PVD finishing is twice as durable as anodised models and is 60G lighter.

These cassettes have a huge 556% range and are lighter than XTR and XX1 models. The aluminium one-piece 42/50 tooth cluster is easily replaceable so riders can keep their steel cluster for multiple seasons and freshen up the granny as needed without buying a whole new cassette. They are even backwards compatible and can be used to upgrade the TRS+ 9-50t cassettes.

Compatibility:

  • Works flawlessly with Shimano and SRAM 12s drivetrains, despite the challenges in designing for the different cog spacing and chain behaviour.
  • Additionally, if your wheel has a SRAM XD Driver and you want to upgrade to Shimano 12s, you not only save money on the cassette and don’t have to spend the extra on a new hub driver.

Specs:

  • Freehub Mount: XD and XDR Drivers Only
  • Material:2 aluminium cogs, 10 steel cogs. (PVD finishing on Intergalactic model is twice as durable as anodised models).
  • Range: 556%!
  • Tooth Count: 9-50T: 9,11,13,15,17,20,23,27,31,36,42,50
  • Speeds: 12 Speed
  • Weight: 345 Grams (lighter than both XTR and XX1)

    Great alternative to Sram XO1

    I have been riding with this cassette for 1 month now and I’m impressed with the performance. Extremely smooth shifting and seamless transition on my Sram XO1 drivetrain. Only down point was initial installation. The instructions that come with cassette are not complete, and you need to visit ethirteen website to get correct instructions. Once I followed these I had no issues. Overall very happy with cassette and performance even under load. Highly recommend.
