A 12-speed option you may not know about

Do you know about the 12-speed Helix R cassette option from e*thirteen?

It’s definitely something worth looking at if you’re upgrading to 12-speed, or if you need a new cassette to fit your xD driver.

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.

A 9-tooth small cogs and a 50-tooth large cog give a class leading 556% gear range.

What really impressed me about this cassette was it’s weight – coming in at only 345g, it’s a LOT lighter than some other 12-speed cassettes out there.

When this cassette does start to wear, you also have the option of replacing separate gear clusters and not the entire cassette, which can save you some cash.

For more info on this great 12-speed cassette option, check out their own website here: https://www.ethirteen.com/pages/helix-r-cassette

Currently this cassette is available locally in SA at just over R6000 – better value and lower weight than both XTR and XX1.
