Component maker e*thirteen rolled out the wide range TRS+ cassette last year. As gears continue to grow, e*thirteen is keeping pace with the TRS Race cassette. This new 11-speed cassette boasts an impressive range that makes it a contender with SRAM’s 12-speed Eagle drivetrains, but at a more reasonable price-point.
Rather than simply swapping the 44t for a 46t cog on the existing TRS+ cassette, e*thirteen adjusted the gearing to keep the steps as consistent as possible across the entire range. The tooth count for the TRS Race cassette is 9-10-12-14-17-20-24-28-33-39-46t.
