🚴 Why Choose the Garbaruk 12-speed Micro Spline cassette?

Garbaruk’s 12-speed Micro Spline cassette is designed to deliver an unparalleled riding experience. Milled from a single block of hardened chromoly steel and then nickel-coated for durability, its monoblock construction ensures maximum strength with minimal weight. The largest cog is crafted from 7075-T6 aluminium and bolted on in twelve places for rock-solid reliability.

Garbaruk’s unique, chamfered tooth profile ensures ultra-smooth shifting, reducing the risk of chain drop and providing precise, responsive gear changes across the range. This 10-52 cassette is also fully compatible with Shimano 12-speed long-cage SGS MTB derailleurs and works with most 12-speed chains (though a Shimano 12-speed chain will give you the best shifting performance, just so ya know).

If you wanna get fancy, it’s also available via special order in different colour options so you can match it to your bike’s aesthetic.

Whether you're grinding up steep fire roads or blasting through fast, flowy descents, the lightweight Garbaruk 12-speed Micro Spline cassette is a stunning drivetrain upgrade with exceptional performance.

FAQs

Q: Will the Garbaruk 12 speed Micro Spline cassette fit my bike?
A: If your bike runs a Shimano 12-speed drivetrain with a Micro Spline freehub, yes! Just make sure your derailleur is a long-cage (SGS) model.

Q: Do I need a special derailleur cage to run this cassette?
A: Nope! Any Shimano 12-speed SGS (long-cage) derailleur is fully compatible.

Q: What chain should I use with this Garbaruk cassette?
A: The best chain for this cassette is a Shimano 12-speed chain for the smoothest shifting experience. However, it does work with most 12-speed chains (except YBN and KMC).

Q: Is it compatible with e-bikes?
A: No, Garbaruk cassettes are not designed for e-bike use.
