The Garbaruk 12 Speed Cassette brings a wide 11-52T range to Shimano HG freehub drivetrains, delivering a 520% spread across twelve gears. Eleven cogs are CNC-machined from a single piece of hardened chromoly steel and finished with a nickel coating, while the 52T climbing cog is machined from 7075-T651 aluminum alloy for a claimed weight of 333g.
This monoblock cassette pairs with Shimano and SRAM 12-speed chains, though KMC and YBN chains are not supported. It matches Shimano SGS-cage rear derailleurs such as the SLX, Deore, XT and XTR, as well as SRAM Eagle derailleurs across the XX1, X01, GX, NX and AXS lineup. An optional Garbaruk spacer adapts it to wider road freehubs; it is not intended for e-bike use.
