FAQ

Is the Rainbow finish purely cosmetic?

Yes. The rainbow anodized finish is cosmetic only. The cassette uses identical X-DOME and X-Range construction to the standard RED XG-1290 and delivers the same shifting performance.

Does the rainbow finish wear off over time?

Anodized rainbow finishes show wear at chain contact points over the cassette's service life. This is normal and does not affect performance or service life.

Is this compatible with Force or Rival AXS drivetrains?

Yes. SRAM AXS 12-speed road cassettes are cross-compatible across RED, Force, and Rival AXS 12-speed road drivetrains on XDR-compatible hubs.

Best For

Road cyclists building a visually matched rainbow drivetrain or anyone who wants a wider-range RED AXS cassette option with a distinctive finish for road and mixed terrain riding.
