Bewertung und Empfehlungen für SRAM X01 Dh Xg-795 Kassette

Vorteile

• Very low weight for a steel DH cassette (~136 g) due to one‑piece MINI BLOCK/X‑DOME construction
• Robust wear characteristics; machined steel cogs and open design shed mud effectively
• Tight 2‑tooth steps (10‑12‑14‑16‑18) support consistent cadence on DH tracks; larger final jumps reduce unnecessary multi‑shifts
• Improved spoke/tire clearance compared with wider cassettes; good for DH wheel builds
• Compatible with XD driver to enable a 10T small cog; integrates well with SRAM 1x DH drivetrains
• Generally smooth, precise shifts under load when paired with the intended SRAM DH shifter/derailleur and a narrow (PC‑XX1) chain

Punkte zum Abwägen

• Very limited range (10–24T, 7‑speed) is unsuitable for pedaling transfers or enduro/trail use
• Requires XD driver; not compatible with standard HG freehub bodies
• Best performance relies on SRAM’s specific DH derailleurs/shifters and an 11‑speed narrow chain; cross‑compatibility is limited
• High cost relative to alternatives (e.g., steel 7‑speed DH cassettes)
• 10T cog can wear faster and be less efficient than larger small cogs for sprinting on flats
• Product line has limited long‑term ecosystem support compared with current 12‑speed groups, affecting future availability

Fazit & Empfehlungen

The SRAM X01 DH XG‑795 is a lightweight, durable 7‑speed cassette engineered for downhill racing. Its one‑piece steel MINI BLOCK/X‑DOME design delivers reliable shifting and strong mud shedding, with DH‑focused gearing and improved wheel clearance. Compatibility is narrow—XD driver and SRAM DH components are recommended—and the limited range confines it to lift‑served DH scenarios. It suits dedicated DH riders seeking precise, close‑ratio gearing; riders needing climbing or transfer capability should consider wider‑range alternatives.

Einsatzmöglichkeiten & Tipps

Purpose‑built for downhill racing and bike‑park use with SRAM 1x DH setups and XD driver hubs. Ideal for riders who prioritize close DH gearing, mud clearing, and low weight over pedaling range. Not appropriate for trail, enduro, or e‑MTB applications.
