XD-R (Double Time) Freehub Body // 11-Speed

The included 1.8 mm spacer is designed for use with SRAM XD cassettes. The cassette body type is compatible with SRAM XD 11/12 speed systems.

The SRAM XD cassette body is a proprietary design that offers several benefits over traditional cassette systems. It features a more compact and lightweight construction, which can improve the bike's overall weight and responsiveness. The XD design also allows for a wider gear range, enabling riders to tackle a broader variety of terrain and gradients with greater efficiency.

When using SRAM XD cassettes, the included 1.8 mm spacer plays a crucial role. This spacer ensures proper alignment and compatibility between the cassette and the freehub body. It helps to maintain the precise positioning of the cassette, which is essential for smooth shifting and optimal power transfer.

The use of the 1.8 mm spacer is particularly important when working with XD cassettes, as the design of these cassettes differs from traditional Shimano/SRAM-compatible ones. The spacer helps to compensate for the unique dimensions and interface of the XD system, ensuring a secure and reliable installation.

By including the 1.8 mm spacer, SRAM has made it easier for riders to set up their bikes with XD cassettes, reducing the potential for compatibility issues or installation challenges. This attention to detail and compatibility ensures a seamless integration between the cassette, freehub, and the rest of the drivetrain components.

The SRAM XD cassette body and the accompanying 1.8 mm spacer are designed to work together as a cohesive system, providing riders with a high-performance and reliable drivetrain solution. Whether you're upgrading an existing bike or building a new one, the inclusion of this spacer makes the installation and setup process more straightforward, allowing you to fully enjoy the benefits of the SRAM XD cassette technology.
