E*Thirteen’s new drivetrain-agnostic, 12-speed Helix Race cassettes are offered in a close-range 13-52T gear spread and an ultra wide-range 9-52T version. Check them out here…
E*Thirteen just expanded their line of beautifully machined cassettes to include the new Helix Race series, featuring two new cassettes with unique gear spacing. The E*Thirteen Helix Race cassettes come in two variations: the Helix Race 12-Speed 9-52T Cassette and the Helix Race 12-Speed 13-52T Cassette. Both cassettes are compatible with XD and XDR free hubs only, are made from 2 aluminum and 10 steel cogs, and are cross-compatibile with Shimano, SRAM, and TRP drivetrains and chains. They have replaceable aluminum and steel clusters, and are offered in five bright anodized colors or a PVD finish for improved durability and wear life. Find specs on each below.

E*Thirteen Helix Race 12-Speed 13-52T Cassette
