X01 X-Glide Cassette - XG-1195

The XD Driver is a specialized freehub design by SRAM that allows you to use a wider range of gear sizes, including a smaller 10-tooth cog. This is crucial for mountain biking and other cycling disciplines because it enables you to install modern, high-performance cassettes that offer better gear ratios, enhancing your overall riding experience.

The X-Dome design is a unique feature of SRAM's cassettes that makes them lighter and stronger. This design reduces weight without sacrificing durability, which is essential for performance. Additionally, it helps with mud shedding, ensuring that your cassette remains functional in various weather conditions, allowing for a smoother ride.

X-Glide technology enhances the shifting performance of SRAM cassettes, making gear changes smoother and more precise. This is particularly beneficial during intense riding situations where quick and accurate shifts are necessary, helping you maintain speed and control on challenging terrains.

An 11-speed cassette offers 11 different gear ratios, providing a wider range of options for pedaling efficiency and speed. This versatility is especially useful for tackling various terrains, from steep climbs to flat roads, allowing you to optimize your performance based on the conditions you encounter.

The JET Black finish is a specialized coating that not only gives your cassette a sleek appearance but also enhances its durability. This finish protects against wear and tear, making the cassette more resistant to scratches and corrosion. This means your cassette will maintain its performance and look great over time, even with regular use.

To determine if you can use an XD Driver with your current bike, check if your hub is compatible with this freehub design. If your bike is equipped with a standard freehub, you may need to upgrade to an XD Driver-compatible hub to take advantage of the wider gear range and modern cassettes. This upgrade can significantly enhance your cycling experience.
