GARBARUK GEN2.0 XPLR cassette 13v SRAM 10-52T

The stock cassette of a SRAM XPLR 13-speed groupset tops out at 10-46 (460%). Garbaruk's GEN2.0 reaches a 52-tooth sprocket, 520% of range, while weighing less than the cassette it replaces: 343 g, versus 383 g for the Rival XPLR 10-46. The 52T aluminium 7075-T651 sprocket is replaceable and comes in 8 colours; the 12 chromoly steel sprockets take the wear where the chain rubs.

Made to order in Poland: allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery.

Key Points

Lighter than the stock cassette, with more range: 343 g in 10-52 when the Rival XPLR 10-46 weighs 383 g. Six extra teeth at the bottom of the range and 40 g less to spin: the cassette lightens the bike and unlocks climbs beyond 15%, without touching the derailleur on Force and Rival XPLR.

520% of range: 10-11-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-37-44-52. Where the stock XPLR cassette stops at 46 teeth, the 52T keeps a gear that turns on the steepest climbs, at a sustainable cadence.

12 chromoly steel sprockets + aluminium 7075-T651 sprocket: CNC-machined steel absorbs wear where the chain rubs, the aluminium 52T saves the weight. When the largest sprocket wears out, replace it on its own, without changing the whole cassette.

GEN2.0 shift ramps: redesigned tooth profiles and ramps to shift under load, whether climbing or sprinting, with the stock SRAM Flattop chain.

Compatibility

The cassette fits SRAM 13-speed XPLR groupsets: Force XPLR and Rival XPLR handle the 52T with the stock derailleur, Red XPLR requires the Garbaruk derailleur cage (sold separately). SRAM XD freehub body, 1.8 mm spacer included for an XDR hub. SRAM Flattop 12/13-speed chain only. Ultra-distance tested by Bike Magazine (2,000 km, including the Traka 560): read the full review.

The cassette also fits e-bikes and full-suspension mountain bikes. Fits in minutes on a removed wheel, with a standard cassette tool; allow a slightly longer chain than with the stock cassette. Need advice on your setup? Write to us.
