The Garbaruk GEN2.0 T-Type cassette weighs 340 g in 10-52: lighter than the GX Eagle Transmission cassette fitted as stock on SRAM T-Type groupsets (445 g), with the same 520% range. The 52-tooth aluminium sprocket is replaceable on its own and comes in 8 colours.
The stock cassette of a SRAM Eagle Transmission 12-speed groupset weighs 445 g in GX spec (XS-1275), 385 g in X0 spec (XS-1295). Garbaruk's GEN2.0 covers the same 10-52 range (520%) at 340 g: up to 105 g less than the cassette it replaces, with no change to the derailleur. The 52T aluminium 7075-T651 sprocket is replaceable and comes in 8 colours; the 11 chromoly steel sprockets take the wear where the chain rubs.

Key Points
Lighter than the stock cassette: 340 g in 10-52 when the GX Eagle Transmission XS-1275 weighs 445 g and the X0 XS-1295 385 g. Up to 105 g less to spin: the rear wheel picks up faster out of corners and through technical singletrack, without touching the derailleur on XX SL, XX, X0, GX, Eagle 90 and Eagle 70.
520% of range: 10-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-37-44-52. The full Transmission range is kept: the 52T sprocket leaves a gear that turns on the steepest climbs at a sustainable cadence, while the 10T keeps speed on the descents.
11 chromoly steel sprockets + aluminium 7075-T651 sprocket: CNC-machined steel absorbs the wear where the chain rubs, the aluminium 52T saves the weight. When the largest sprocket wears out, you replace it on its own, not the whole cassette.
GEN2.0 shift ramps: redesigned tooth profiles and ramps for shifting under load, climbing or sprinting, with the stock SRAM Flattop chain. Backpedalling keeps the chain perfectly in place.
Compatibility
The cassette fits SRAM 12-speed Eagle Transmission (T-Type) groupsets: XX SL Eagle, XX Eagle, X0 Eagle, GX Eagle, Eagle 90 and Eagle 70 accept the 10-52 with the stock derailleur. SRAM XD freehub body. SRAM Flattop 12-speed chain only.
It works on a full-suspension mountain bike as well as on an e-bike. Fitting takes a few minutes on a removed wheel with a standard cassette lockring tool; allow for a slightly longer chain than with the stock cassette. Need advice on your setup? Write to us.
