Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM XG-795 is a purpose-built Mini Block X-Dome DH cassette designed for gravity and aggressive trail use. The cassette uses SRAM's XD driver interface and X-DOME / JET technologies to pack a 7-speed cluster into a compact, durable package that prioritizes fast cog transitions and rear-wheel clearance. The cogset is made from hardened steel cogs (10-12-14-16-18-21-24) arranged in 2-tooth steps — a deliberate choice to give safer, more predictable shifts under high loads compared with 1-tooth jumps. The 10-tooth top cog lets you run smaller chainrings for extra ground clearance while still opening up a high-speed gear.

Key Features & Real-World Benefits

Mini Block X-Dome construction: reduces overall cassette width and concentrates mass where it counts for quicker acceleration and cleaner shifts. The compact stack helps increase spoke and tire clearance — critical for downhill and tight-line trails. 7-speed 10–24T range with 2-tooth steps: offers quick, confidence-inspiring upshifts and downshifts when you need them most. Steel cogs deliver long life under heavy braking and frequent big-load shifts typical of enduro and DH riding.

Fit, Compatibility & Specifications

This cassette is XD driver-only and currently fits any XD-compatible wheel and driver body — it will not fit standard Shimano HG freehub bodies. Note: the XG-795 is specified for 11-speed chain only; using the recommended chain width preserves shift performance and durability. Key specs: 7-speed, 10-24T (10-12-14-16-18-21-24), steel cogs, XD / X-DOME / MINI BLOCK / JET technologies, SRAM model CS-XG-795-A1. Weight: 0.35 lb (≈159 g). Shipping dimensions: 5.3" x 5.4" x 2.7".

Who It's For

The XG-795 is aimed at gravity riders — downhill, freeride and aggressive enduro racers — who want a compact, durable 7-speed cassette with immediate, safe shifts under load and more rear-wheel clearance. It also appeals to riders who run smaller chainrings for obstacle clearance while still wanting a high top-end gear. If you run an XD driver wheelset and prefer steel durability over lightweight alloy cogs (or need a robust cassette for shuttle days and frequent heavy shifts), the XG-795 is an efficient and practical choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the XG-795 fit my wheel?

The XG-795 requires an XD driver body and fits any XD-compatible wheel. It will not mount on a standard Shimano HG freehub — check your hub spec or wheel manufacturer's documentation before purchase.

What chain should I use with this cassette?

SRAM specifies the XG-795 for use with an 11-speed chain only. Using the correct 11-speed chain width ensures proper engagement and reliable shifting; narrower or wider chains can cause poor shifting and accelerated wear.

Is this cassette suitable for enduro or downhill racing?

Yes — the mini-block X-DOME design, steel construction, and 2-tooth step spacing are tailored for gravity riding where robust, predictable shifts under heavy loads matter most.

Can I mix this cassette with non-SRAM derailleurs and chains?

You can mix components, but optimal performance is with SRAM drivetrain parts sized for 11-speed chains and XD driver compatibility. Check derailleur capacity and B-gap settings when switching brands to maintain smooth shifting.

How durable is the XG-795 under shuttle and lift-assisted riding?

The steel cogs and compact X-DOME layout are highly durable and designed to withstand repeated high-load shifts typical of shuttle days. Regular cleaning and proper lubrication will maximize service life.

What maintenance does this cassette require?

Routine maintenance is simple: keep the cassette free of grit, clean with a degreaser when needed, and replace the chain before it wears through the cogs. Because cogs are steel, they resist damage but will wear faster if used with a worn chain.

Buying Guide

When selecting a downhill/enduro cassette, prioritize driver compatibility, gear range, and material. The XG-795's 10–24T spread with 2-tooth steps favors quick, secure shifts under heavy load while the 10-tooth high cog lets you run smaller chainrings for better ground clearance — a common need in gravity disciplines. Confirm your hub uses an XD driver body and match the cassette to an appropriate 11-speed chain. Consider steel cogsets like the XG-795 if durability and shift reliability under extreme conditions are more important than shaving grams.
