Andrew Major of NSMB thrashed the e*13 TRS+ cassette<\/a> through a grimy and muddy west coast winter, and loved it! The cassette, not the weather. While the ‘wet coast’ certainly lived up to it’s name this winter, a lack of serious snowfall meant that there was plenty of opportunity to trash-test new products in all sorts of gritty, grimy and muddy conditions. Through all of that, and despite being mounted alongside old and worn-out drivetrain components, the e*13 TRS+ cassette kept Andrew smiling and his wheels turning all winter long.<\/p>\n

“This e13 TRS+ cassette was not that lucky. Three different bikes, four different chains in various condition, and five different chainrings from brand-new\u00a0to ‘how does the chain stay on there’ were mated to the 9-46t 11spd cassette. ”
\n-Andrew Major, NSMB.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Andrew notes the ease-of install on the TRS+ cassette, and how it improved the shifting quality, even over his (notoriously good) stock SRAM cassette.<\/p>\n

“The chain was already well used but even so, up-shifts were crisp and down-shifts were crisper than with the stock, albeit worn, SRAM cassette. ”
\n-Andrew Major<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The TRS+ cassette gives those with 11spd drivetrains the 500%+ range associated with SRAM’s Eagle line of 12 speed drivetrains. This wider range means that riders can conquer a wider range of terrains than with a standard 11 speed spread, ideal for those who spend their time in bike parks, where both ends of the range can be needed in a single run.<\/p>\n

“Chuck on a 28t oval ring and climb everything without giving up the high gear.”
\n-Andrew Major<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The e*13 TRS+ cassette is built around a single-piece aluminum carrier for the largest three cogs, with the remainder manufactured out of the standard steel. This keeps the overall weight down without sacrificing durability.<\/p>\n

“If it wasn’t for the durability I wouldn’t care about the weight savings, but I have to say that given how well the TRS+ is holding up the fact it’s\u00a0less money and lighter than an X01 cassette and a lot lighter than a Shimano XT M8000 cassette is impressive.”

“There are several reasons to choose the TRS+ 9-46 cassette; excellent shifting and durability, flawless compatibility, lightweight construction, and of course cost savings from buying one 250 USD cassette rather than a fresh drivetrain. If the e13 TRS+ makes sense to you then it’s an excellent product.”
\n-Andrew Major<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re looking for an easy way to increase the range of your 11speed drivetrain, or breathe some fresh life into your current bike, the TRS+ cassette is a great way to go. Easy to install, tough and light, the e*13 TRS+<\/a> cassette is available through your local Live to Play Sports dealer.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
