SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette Compatibility Guide
Quick Verdict
SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette is a SRAM cassette. It is a 12-speed component. Everything listed below was matched on a specification we hold for both parts: the interface each pairing actually depends on, such as freehub body, speed count, actuation or mounting standard. Where we could not verify that interface, the part is left out rather than assumed to fit.
How this list is built: a part is listed only when we hold the specification that decides the pairing for bothparts and those specifications match: the freehub body for a cassette and a wheel, the mounting interface for a chainring and a crankset, and so on. Each card shows exactly what was compared. Where we do not hold that specification the part is left out rather than assumed to fit, so this list is deliberately incomplete rather than speculative. Always confirm against the manufacturer’s own compatibility documentation before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fits SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette?
On this page we list wheels with a compatible freehub, chains for this cassette, rear derailleurs for this cassette. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.
Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette?
No. SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette is a 12-speed component and needs a 12-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.
Which wheels does SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette fit?
SRAM RED XG-1290 Cassette needs a rear wheel or rear hub with a XDR freehub body. It cannot be fitted to a front wheel, and it will not fit a rear hub built for a different freehub standard without changing the freehub body.
