11 Speed Cassettes

(17 products)

11 speed cassettes remain a popular choice for road, gravel and mountain bike drivetrains. These offer a wide range of gearing with smooth and reliable shifting. Our collection includes Shimano and SRAM 11 speed cassettes for MTB, road, gravel and e-bikes.

Ensure your cassette matches your 11 speed chain, rear derailleur and shifter, as well as your freehub type, for proper compatibility and performance.

11 Speed Cassette Compatibility

An 11 speed cassette must be paired with an 11 speed chain, derailleur and shifter. Mixing speeds will result in poor shifting due to differences in sprocket spacing.

Most 11 speed road and MTB cassettes use a Shimano/SRAM HG-style freehub, though compatibility should always be confirmed before purchasing.

Choosing the Right Gear Range

11 speed cassettes are available in various tooth ranges depending on riding style.

  • Closer ratios (e.g. 11–28T) are common on road bikes.
  • Wider ranges (e.g. 11–42T) are often used on mountain bikes.

The right gear range depends on terrain, rider strength and drivetrain setup.

Freehub Compatibility

Most 11 speed cassettes use the HG (HyperGlide) freehub standard. However, if you have a SRAM 1x11 drivetrain and a wide range cassette, then your cassette uses the SRAM XD freehub.

Always confirm your hub compatibility before replacing or upgrading your cassette.

FAQs

Can I upgrade from a 10-speed to an 11-speed cassette?

Upgrading from 10-speed to 11-speed usually requires replacing the cassette, chain, rear derailleur and shifter. Some wheel hubs may also need a compatible freehub body to support 11-speed spacing.

For example:

If you're upgrading from a 10-speed Shimano drivetrain to a SRAM 1x or single-chainring setup. This requires a change of freehub body (on our rear hub) from Shimano HG to SRAM XD.

Are Shimano and SRAM 11-speed cassettes interchangeable?

Shimano and SRAM 11-speed cassettes share similar sprocket spacing and fit HG freehubs. Therefore, making them compatible with many drivetrains.

Exact compatibility can vary by model and gear range, so always confirm your drivetrain specifications.

What gear range should I choose for an 11-speed cassette?

Smaller gear ranges like 11–28T offer closer gear steps and are common on road bikes. On modern road bikes, this is becoming less common though. More are using larger rear cassettes (11T-30T and bigger).

Wider ranges such as 11–40T or 11–42T provide easier climbing gears and are popular for mountain bikes.

The right choice depends on terrain, fitness level and rear derailleur compatibility.

Some rear derailleurs (called short cage) are only compatible with smaller cassettes. To use a bigger cassette, you may need to change your derailleur to a medium or long cage version.

How do I know when my 11-speed cassette needs replacing?

If you've installed a new chain and the chain skips under load (when you pedal). Or you're gears don't change smoothly and consistently.

Replacing worn drivetrain components together improves shifting performance and extends component life.

Do all 11-speed cassettes fit the same freehub?

Most 11-speed road and MTB cassettes fit Shimano/SRAM HG freehubs.

However, some wide-range or performance models may need specific hub standards.

One exception is the SRAM X1 42-tooth 11-speed cassette. This needs a SRAM XD freehub body on your rear hub.

Always confirm freehub compatibility before purchasing. workhorse level components.
