E Thirteen Helix 12 Speed Cassette ClusterBuilt for the demands of modern mountain biking, this model offers a highly durable and dependable build for tackling every obstacle that the trail throws at you.

The 9 tooth cog lets you step down one chainring size while keeping the same top-end gearing and provides not only better ground clearance, but an overall lighter drivetrain.Unlike SRAM Eagle, Helix R cassettes have replaceable gear clusters. That means ongoing service and replacement costs will be less than half that of SRAM cassettes. As an added bonus, Helix R 12 speed clusters are backward compatible with and can be used to upgrade your existing TRS+ 9-50 cassette.When installing the Helix R cassette, as with any cassette, e.thirteen recommends checking chain wear. If your chain shows 0.5% or more wear, you will significantly decrease the wear life of your new cassette. Installing a new chain with your new cluster is a much better and economical solution.The Intergalactic 42-50t cluster features PVD finishing that is twice as durable as anodised models.Please note: This product is a replacement cassette cluster and is available in different sizes.
