Overview
Mounting this cassette means a wheelset with a MicroSpline freehub, which lets the ten tooth cog fit within the cluster. The BEAM SPIDER build retains stiffness while shedding weight, and Hyperglide+ shaping helps the chain stay on through shifts.
Range and chain retention are the reasons to look at it: one cassette spans steep climbs and fast descents, and the shifting is tuned for a narrow twelve speed chain. The freehub requirement is the hard limit, so check the wheel first.
Who it's for
All-mountain and trail riders with a MicroSpline hub get a wide spread and the Deore shifting layout. Riders on a standard freehub need a different cassette or a hub swap, and the listing does not mention shifters or chain pairing.
Pros and cons
- Wide gear range for all-mountain
- Lightweight BEAM SPIDER construction
- Hyperglide+ eases shifting
- Improved chain retention
- Needs a MicroSpline freehub
- Shifter and chain pairing unspecified
- Cog weight not listed
Performance notes
Hyperglide+ shapes the cog teeth and ramps so the chain moves between cogs smoothly and stays seated when power is applied. A stiff BEAM SPIDER carrier holds cog spacing accurate, which matters because a twelve speed chain has very small tolerances.
