Mountain Bike Cassettes have grown in size and capability in recent years, spurred on by the increase in 1x drivetrains which places greater emphasis on the performance and gearing of the bike on the cassette.
MTB cassettes offer a wide range of gears for the incredibly varied terrain that mountain bikes encounter - with steep climbs needing low gearing using the largest sprocket, and long descents which can be pedalled fast using the smallest sprocket.
MTB cassettes will typically have larger gaps between gearing on each sprocket to take into account the varied terrain. At Westbrook Cycles, we have a fantastic range of MTB cassettes from the world’s leading manufacturers such as SRAM and Shimano.
