The simple(ish) solution for tenfold

Many bikers ride a great bike on the trails that is not yet equipped with 1 x 11. Praxis Works offers all these riders the opportunity to convert this current bike to 1 x 10 without having to carry out an expensive conversion to 1 x 11. Or to treat the 2 x 10 setup to a 40 sprocket so that the gear ratio doesn't run out on the mountain.

The brand new Praxis Works 11-40 cassette and a new longer chain are all that is needed without having to sacrifice shifting performance. This is sacred to Praxis Works, which is why the Californian manufacturer's engineers have also dispensed with a 42 mm sprocket, as this impairs the shifting quality. Consistent gradations, butter-smooth shifting and a functioning 10-speed wide-range cassette.

The cassette is compatible with all SRAM and Shimano rear derailleurs with a medium or long cage. The harmonious gradation is 11/13/15/17/19/21/24/28/34/40 teeth, whereby the two largest sprockets are milled from hard anodized aluminium, while the remaining eight are made of steel. The weight of the cassette is 318 grams, compared to a Shimano XT 11-32 cassette which weighs a few grams more. Weight can therefore be saved and shifting performance gained.

The Praxis Works 11-40 wide-range cassette, which was presented to the public for the first time at the 2015 Taipei Show, is now available from specialist retailers for CHF 159.00.
