Sprocket Pack
Cassette | Shifting Precision and Total Transmission
The cassette is one of the most stressed components on the entire bicycle. It's where the force applied to the pedals is transformed into motion, and it's where the smoothness of your riding experience comes into play. Our Novo Cicli collection offers a complete range of cassettes for road, gravel, and MTB, focusing exclusively on original Shimano and SRAM parts to ensure your drivetrain works exactly as it was designed.
The Excellence of Original Spare Parts: Shimano and SRAM
Why choose only original cassettes for your Giant TCR , your BMC or your Whistle Vaero ?
-
Perfect Synchronization: Original sprockets feature precisely engineered chain up and down ramps (technologies like Shimano's Hyperglide+ or SRAM's X-Glide ). Only an original replacement sprocket guarantees silent and instantaneous shifting, even under stress.
-
Materials and Treatments: From hardened steel cassettes for maximum durability to elite versions with titanium or machined aluminum sprockets for those seeking extreme lightness.
-
Integration with Electronic Groupsets: If you use a Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed or SRAM eTap AXS groupset, the use of an original cassette is essential to not compromise the precision of the electronic micro-adjustments of the Components .
When to Replace the Sprocket Set?
Preventive maintenance is the key to a consistently responsive bike. At Novo Cicli, we recommend carefully monitoring wear and tear:
-
The Mileage Limit: On average, a high-quality sprocket set will last between 6,000 and 10,000 km , but this figure depends greatly on how clean and regularly you change the chain.
-
The Chain Rule: If you change your chain regularly (about every 4,500-5,000 km on the road for a 12-speed drivetrain), a cassette can last as long as two or three chains. However, if the chain "stretches" too much, it will prematurely wear out the sprockets, compromising smooth shifting and forcing a complete and expensive replacement.
-
Signs of Wear: When your new chain "jumps" on the sprockets or you hear a constant metallic noise, it's time to take action.
Choosing the Ideal Gear Ratio
In this collection you will find different combinations of teeth:
-
Cassette Road (e.g. 11-30 or 11-34): For climbing Alpine passes with ease or maintaining speed on flat sections.
-
Wide-Range Cassette (MTB and Gravel): To always have the right gear even on the extreme slopes of your rides with 29" MTB .
