What makes the SRAM Force AXS XG-1270 D1 cassette the road sweet spot?

The SRAM Force AXS XG-1270 D1 is a 12-speed road cassette built with X-DOME technology and X-Range gearing, optimized for electronic shifting with SRAM Force AXS components. It delivers the same wide-range progression philosophy as the RED XG-1290, designed for the next generation of road riders who need range and smooth gear steps in equal measure. The 10-28t range keeps things tight for road-focused riding. Requires an XDR driver body and is compatible with SRAM Force, Rival, and RED 12-speed AXS drivetrains.

Force AXS brings the X-Range gearing philosophy to the mid-tier of SRAM's road lineup at a more accessible price point. The XG-1270 D1 is the cassette for riders building a capable, modern road or gravel drivetrain on the Force AXS platform who want class-leading range and smooth progression without RED pricing.
