The SRAM PG-970 Cassette utilizes PowerGlide II technology with tooth profiles and shift ramp designs for positive, responsive shifts. When accelerating out of a turn, banging through gears with the PowerGlide II, you might want to consider purchasing a wheelie bar to keep the front end on the ground.

Good Price and Durable

Rating:****

This is a great cassette for the price and is very durable. We bought these and put them on our rental bikes and they hold up very well with the abuse they get with most people not knowing how to shift properly. If you don't want to sacrifice too much weight for durability and shell out too much money this cassette is for you.

not for expensive hubs

Rating:****

These are simple and durable. They have a pretty good life span too. The one thing to watch out for is aluminum cassette bodies on hubs. If you have a steel cassette body go ahead and use this if not get a cassette with a solid body with the rings riveted on like a Shimano XT or Sram PG990

Good cassette, great price

Rating:****

I have had good luck with this cassette so far. I have it on a Santa Cruz Heckler with XT hubs. No complaints.
