Product Information

Full details

The SunRace RX1 11-speed cassette is an ideal upgrade for gravel, city, and road cyclists seeking a reliable and lightweight drivetrain component. It offers an 11-34T gear range that balances top-end speed with climbing capability, utilizing Super Fluid Drive technology for precise gear changes. While it provides excellent performance for HG-compatible systems, users should verify their rear derailleur's capacity to accommodate the 34T large cog before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cassette compatible with SRAM 11-speed systems?

Yes, it is compatible with standard HG-style 11-speed systems, including most SRAM and Shimano road/gravel setups.

Do I need a special chain for this cassette?

No, it works with standard 11-speed chains.

Can I use this on a mountain bike hub?

If your mountain bike uses a standard HG freehub body, it will fit, though it is optimized for road and gravel derailleur geometry.

What is the weight of the cassette?

The RX1 is designed as a lightweight component, though exact weight can vary slightly based on manufacturing batches; it is significantly lighter than entry-level steel cassettes.

Does it come with a lockring?

Yes, the cassette includes a 6061 alloy lockring.

Can I use this with a short-cage derailleur?

A short-cage derailleur may not support the 34T cog; ensure your derailleur is rated for a 34T capacity.

Troubleshooting

Gears skipping under load

Check your rear derailleur hanger alignment and ensure the cable tension is correctly adjusted.

Cassette feels loose after installation

Verify that the lockring is tightened to the specified torque and ensure all spacers were included.

Difficulty shifting into the 34T cog

Ensure your B-tension screw on the rear derailleur is adjusted to allow the upper pulley wheel to clear the large sprocket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable steel sprocket construction for longevity
  • Lightweight alloy spider and lockring design
  • Reliable shifting performance across various terrains
  • Sleek black aesthetic finish

Cons

  • Requires an 11-speed compatible derailleur with sufficient cage length
  • Not compatible with XD or Micro Spline freehub bodies
  • Requires a specific lockring tool for proper installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard cassette lockring tool and a chain whip. Ensure your freehub is Shimano/SRAM HG compatible.

  1. Remove the old cassette using the lockring tool and chain whip.
  2. Clean the freehub body thoroughly and apply a light layer of grease to the splines.
  3. Slide the RX1 cassette onto the freehub, ensuring the widest spline aligns correctly.
  4. Thread the alloy lockring by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque (usually 40Nm).

Regular maintenance involves cleaning the sprockets with a degreaser after muddy or wet rides to preserve the black finish and ensure the shifting pins remain free of debris. Always verify that your chain is not worn before installing a new cassette to prevent premature gear wear.
