Garbaruk 12-Speed MTB Gen 2 MicroSpline Cassette 10-52 Teeth - Red

Garbaruk 12-Speed MTB Gen 2.0 MicroSpline Cassette - The world's lightest option for MicroSpline
Push the performance of your MTB and Gravel drivetrain to the maximum. Engineered to deliver a monumental 520% gear range, the Garbaruk MTB Gen 2.0 cassette is a masterpiece of CNC machining. It stands out as the lightest option in the world for Shimano MicroSpline freehub bodies, combining exceptional smoothness, record-breaking weight, 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 52-tooth sprocket 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 or during steep climbs.
• Garbaruk’s attention to detail: Available in numerous anodized finishes to perfectly match your bike's style.

Generation 2.0 Performance & Di2 Compatibility
The Gen 2.0 brings refined tooth profiles and precision-optimized shift ramps. Shifting is faster, smoother, and ultra-quiet in all conditions. Fully compatible with electronic Shimano Di2 drivetrains (MTB and GRX), its specific tooth shaping also ensures perfect chain retention, preventing drops even during backpedaling.
