The SRAM RED XG‑1290 E1 Rainbow 12‑speed cassette delivers elite‑level road and all‑road gearing with an unmistakable premium finish. Designed for riders who want both wide gearing range and fine cadence control, this cassette pairs SRAM’s lightest construction with shift ramps optimised for electronic AXS drivetrains.

Regularly stocked by specialist Brisbane bike shops, the RED XG‑1290 E1 Rainbow cassette is a popular choice for high‑end road bike builds, SRAM AXS drivetrain upgrades, and professional bicycle servicing across Queensland.

Wide Range and Smooth Gear Progression

SRAM engineered the XG‑1290 E1 to eliminate compromise between tight jumps and climbing range. Carefully selected cog spacing keeps cadence changes smooth while still providing low gearing for steep climbs and headwind‑affected riding.

Available ranges include:

  • 10–28T for traditional road racing
  • 10–30T for versatile performance builds
  • 10–33T for endurance and hilly routes
  • 10–36T for modern all‑road and climbing‑focused setups

The introduction of 10–30T and 10–36T options at RED level gives riders greater freedom to tailor gearing to Queensland terrain without stepping down in component level.

Electronic‑Optimised Shifting Performance

Each cog features precision‑shaped shift ramps developed specifically for electronic shifting. When paired with SRAM RED AXS rear derailleurs, shifts remain fast, decisive, and consistent under load—whether sprinting, climbing out of the saddle, or making quick adjustments in a fast bunch.

On the 10–28T, 10–30T, and 10–33T versions, at least five consecutive one‑tooth jumps maintain excellent cadence control, helping riders stay efficient when riding at pace.

10‑Tooth Start for Expanded Efficiency

The 10‑tooth smallest sprocket expands the usable gear range without requiring oversized chainrings. This allows high‑speed efficiency on fast roads while retaining small climbing gears—ideal for mixed profiles and rolling Queensland routes.

The cassette is designed for hubs fitted with an XDR driver body, the standard for modern SRAM AXS road wheelsets.

X‑DOME One‑Piece Construction

The RED XG‑1290 E1 Rainbow cassette is machined from a single block of high‑grade steel using SRAM’s X‑DOME construction. This approach delivers:

  • Exceptional strength and durability
  • Outstanding resistance to wear
  • Significant weight savings compared with multi‑piece cassettes

The one‑piece design also contributes to consistent long‑term shifting accuracy, making it a favourite among riders who clock high kilometres.

Distinctive Rainbow Finish

Finished in SRAM’s Rainbow coating, this cassette adds a premium visual highlight to high‑end builds. The finish complements carbon road frames and SRAM RED AXS drivetrains while maintaining the same durability and performance characteristics expected from the RED range.
