First Ride: E*thirteen Helix R Cassette – More Range, Less Weight (Product Review)

Overall Review
E*thirteen jumped into the cassette game a few years ago, looking to disrupt the market with a unique take on how to eke out wider range from a 1x drivetrain. We’ve had good results with their two-piece cassettes to date, although we did note that shifting could sometimes be a little bit “clunkier” than with original SRAM or Shimano cassettes. The Helix R is a full redesign that looks to improve shifting performance with both SRAM and Shimano shifters, and it has managed to drop a serious chunk of weight in the process as well. The cassette hits the market today - keep reading to learn more...

The day before we began everyone was busy ensuring their rides were ready for the challenge. "Did you swap out that 34-tooth ring?" "Damn straight, I'll take every advantage I can get!" replied my buddy, Nate Work, who, just days earlier...

First Look, First Ride: SRAM GX Eagle Drivetrain - More Range For All (Product Review)

Overall Review
When you look back at the history of SRAM's 1X drivetrains, it took quite a while for all that wonderful technology to trickle down to a price point that many considered to be affordable. Three years and multiple intermediary drivetrains separated the 2012 introduction of XX1, the company's flagship 11-speed system, and GX, the affordable workhorse. That's not the case this time around. SRAM is making moves by releasing an everyman's GX version of their new 12-speed Eagle drivetrain just one year after it launched. Let's dig in...
