Description
The MICROSHIFT ADVENT MX 11-Speed Cassette CS-XD116 is the lightest and most technical 11-speed cassette in the microSHIFT range. Designed specifically for high-level MTB and Gravel, it offers an impressive gear range of 11-50 teeth (454%) while maintaining a highly competitive weight.
Its strength lies in its hybrid construction: the first 10 sprockets are made of steel to ensure smooth and durable shifting, while the 50-tooth sprocket is machined in aluminium. This technical choice drastically reduces rotating mass at the rear of your bike, thereby improving responsiveness during accelerations and the overall agility of the bike.
What is the difference with the CS-EG116 (Sword) version? Although they share the same technology (50T aluminium sprocket), the CS-XD116 is optimised for MTB (ADVENT X series), while the CS-EG116 is badged for the Sword series (Gravel). The gear spacing is identical, but the aesthetic finishing may vary slightly to match their respective groupsets.
Does the aluminium sprocket wear out faster? Aluminium is softer than steel. If you spend 100% of your time on the 50-tooth sprocket, it will wear out more quickly than an all-steel version (such as the CS-H114). However, for normal use where the 50T serves as an "emergency sprocket" for steep climbs, it is the ideal compromise.
Why choose this version over the "all-steel" version? For responsiveness. On a rear wheel, a 150g difference is immediately felt during accelerations. If you are looking for a dynamic and lively bike, the XD116 is the best choice.
