What makes the SRAM RED XG-1290 D1 cassette the road benchmark?

The SRAM RED XG-1290 D1 is the flagship 12-speed road cassette from SRAM's RED AXS lineup. It uses X-DOME technology for a one-piece construction that delivers best-in-class weight savings with maximum precision and strength. The X-Range gearing provides gradual gear progression with at least five one-tooth jumps, while still delivering a wider overall range starting from a 10-tooth small cog. Designed specifically for wireless electronic shifting, it's optimized to work with SRAM RED AXS components. Requires an XDR driver body.

The XG-1290 D1 is the cassette that set the standard for 12-speed road gearing. Its X-Range philosophy means you're always in the right gear with smooth, useful progressions across the range, not the awkward jumps of older wide-range cassettes. For riders running RED AXS who want the original D1 generation cassette, this is the definitive choice.

FAQ

What is XDR and why does this cassette require it?

XDR is SRAM's road-specific driver body interface for 12-speed AXS road cassettes. It is slightly different from the XD driver used on Eagle MTB cassettes. Most current high-end road hubs are available with an XDR driver body option. Confirm your hub's compatibility before ordering.

What is the 10-28t range best suited for?

The 10-28t is a very close-ratio range suited to flat terrain, criteriums, and time trial setups where precise cadence management matters more than climbing range. It is the tightest cassette option in the RED AXS lineup.

Is this compatible with Shimano 12-speed drivetrains?

No. SRAM AXS 12-speed road cassettes are designed exclusively for SRAM AXS 12-speed road drivetrains and are not compatible with Shimano 12-speed systems.

Best For

Road cyclists running SRAM RED AXS on XDR-compatible hubs who race on flat to rolling terrain and want the closest-ratio cassette option in the RED 12-speed lineup.
