Garbaruk 12-Speed Gen 2 XD/XDR Gravel Cassette - Black 2026

Garbaruk 12-Speed Gravel Gen 2.0 XD / XDR Cassette
Say goodbye to hike-a-bike sections and push the limits of your gravel drivetrain. Engineered to deliver an exceptional 500% gear range, the Garbaruk Gravel Gen 2.0 cassette is a masterpiece of CNC machining. It combines optimized step gearing for the steepest climbs, record-breaking lightweight performance, and the legendary durability of the brand's components.

Monoblock CNC Machining: Ultimate Strength & Lightweight

The secret of Garbaruk lies in its unique architecture and uncompromising material choices:

• Two-block construction: The first 11 cogs are CNC-machined from a single block of high-strength chromoly steel. Only the largest sprocket (48T or 50T) is made of aircraft-grade 7075-T651 aluminum.
• Maximum Stiffness: This monoblock structure eliminates rivets and weak interfaces, ensuring ultra-direct, crisp shifts even under heavy loads on climbs.
• Garbaruk’s attention to detail: Available in elegant Black (and other anodized finishes) to perfectly match your bike's style.

Generation 2.0 Performance
The Gen 2.0 brings refined tooth profiles and precision-optimized shift ramps. Shifting is faster, smoother, and ultra-quiet in all conditions. The specific tooth shaping also ensures perfect chain retention, preventing drops even during backpedaling.
