Key Features & Technical Specifications

Wide-range gravel and all-road cassette

Number of speeds: 13-speed

Cassette range: 10-52T

Total gear range: 520%

Sprocket progression: 10-11-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-37-44-52T

Drivetrain configuration: 1x13

Compatible drivetrains:

  • SRAM Force XPLR AXS 13-speed
  • SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 13-speed
  • SRAM RED XPLR AXS 13-speed when used with the required Garbaruk derailleur cage
  • Other compatible 13-speed XPLR systems should be individually checked before installation

Freehub compatibility:

  • SRAM XD
  • SRAM XDR with the supplied 1.8mm spacer

Chain compatibility:

  • Officially compatible with SRAM Flattop 12-speed and 13-speed chains
  • A SRAM 13-speed Flattop chain is recommended for the most appropriate drivetrain match

Claimed weight: 343g

Published manufacturing tolerance: Approximately 345g ±2%, depending on production variation and finish

E-bike compatibility: Yes, subject to the complete drivetrain and bicycle being configured within the relevant manufacturer requirements

Cage requirements:

  • Force XPLR 13-speed: Standard cage compatible when correctly set up
  • Rival XPLR 13-speed: Standard cage compatible when correctly set up
  • RED XPLR 13-speed: Garbaruk XPLR 13-speed derailleur cage required

Colour options for the aluminium sprocket may include:

  • Black
  • Blue
  • Gold
  • Green
  • Orange
  • Red
  • Silver
  • Violet

Correct installation, chain length and derailleur adjustment are essential. The move from a 46T to a 52T largest sprocket may require a longer chain, even when the standard derailleur cage remains compatible.

Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

The Garbaruk GEN2.0 cassette is manufactured around a strength-to-weight-focused hybrid construction. Twelve sprockets are CNC-machined from chromoly steel alloy to provide durability across the gears used most frequently, while the oversized 52T sprocket is made from 7075-T651 aluminium alloy to reduce rotating mass.

GEN2.0 development includes revised tooth shapes, updated shift ramps and refined chain interfaces. These features are designed to produce faster, more controlled shifts under pedalling load while reducing noise and maintaining more secure chain engagement when coasting or backpedalling.

The replaceable 52T aluminium sprocket is an important long-term advantage. It allows the largest sprocket to be replaced separately if necessary rather than automatically discarding the complete cassette. It also provides an opportunity to change the anodised colour as part of a custom bike upgrade.

Garbaruk manufactures its drivetrain components in-house near Kraków, Poland. CNC machining allows material to be removed selectively from low-stress areas, helping the cassette achieve its low weight without relying on aluminium for the complete sprocket cluster.

Industry & Rider Feedback. A few Comparison Options

Magazine Bike published a dedicated test of the Garbaruk 13-Speed GEN2.0 XPLR Cassette on 29 July 2026. The publication identified the cassette’s central advantage as expanding SRAM XPLR gearing from 460% to 520% without abandoning the 13-speed platform. Its review highlighted the balance between closely spaced frequently used gears and the significantly lower 52T climbing sprocket, describing the design as especially relevant to mountain gravel riding, ultramarathons and loaded touring.

SRAM Force XPLR 13-Speed 10-46T Cassette

Best for: Fast gravel racing, rolling terrain and riders who value original SRAM integration.

Advantages:

  • Native SRAM XPLR compatibility
  • Closer 13-15-17T progression through the faster gears
  • Approximately 348g actual published weight
  • Strong electronic shifting integration
  • Lower purchase price than the Garbaruk cassette in many markets

Considerations:

  • 460% range is significantly narrower
  • No 52T bailout gear
  • Less suitable for loaded riding and very steep loose climbs

SRAM RED XPLR 13-Speed 10-46T Cassette

Best for: Weight-focused premium gravel race bikes.

Advantages:

  • Very low 288g claimed weight
  • Excellent factory-integrated shift performance
  • Close ratios suitable for racing and maintaining cadence
  • Premium original-equipment construction

Considerations:

  • Considerably more expensive
  • Limited to a 460% range
  • The lower weight does not provide easier climbing gearing
  • Riders prioritising range over minimum weight may prefer Garbaruk
