Why we love it
We love that the Ingrid cassette is machined from two metals and built to be renewed, not thrown away.
- 01The smaller cogs are heat-treated AISI 9840 steel with a nickel-phosphorus plating, for durability and precise shifting.
- 02The largest cogs are 7075-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized surface, which cuts weight while resisting wear.
- 03Because it is machined in two parts, each part is available separately as a spare, so you can renew the cassette instead of replacing it.

Will it fit your bike?
Compatible with

- 12-speed single-chainring drivetrains, including: The Ingrid RD1 MK2 Rear Derailleur
- 12-speed single-chainring drivetrains, including: Shimano MTB, with a long (GS or SGS) cage
- 12-speed chains, including SRAM 12-speed (Flattop included) and other compatible 12-speed chains
Not compatible with
- Shimano HG freehubs (choose the Ingrid 12-Speed Cassette for Shimano HG instead)
- Shimano Micro Spline freehubs (this cassette is made for a SRAM XD driver only)
- 10-speed and 11-speed drivetrains (this is a 12-speed cassette)
- Derailleurs without the cage capacity to reach the largest cog you choose
Confirm before ordering
This cassette fits a SRAM XD driver and comes in three cog ranges: 11-44T, 10-48T, and 10-52T. The 10-tooth smallest cog is what the XD driver allows. Match the cog range to your derailleur's capacity: the 11-44T suits the Ingrid RD1 MK2 Rear Derailleur, while the 10-48T and 10-52T use the long cage. It also works with Shimano MTB (GS or SGS) derailleurs that can reach the largest cog. It works with 12-speed chains, including SRAM 12-speed and Flattop, and other compatible 12-speed chains. For a Shimano HG freehub, choose the Ingrid 12-Speed Cassette for Shimano HG instead.
Questions
How durable are the aluminum cogs?
Aluminum is less durable than steel, but it weighs less. Ingrid uses it only for the top two (largest) cogs, where the chain load is spread across the most teeth and each tooth carries less of it. Those two cogs are 7075-T6 aluminum, hardened with a hard-anodizing process for a tough, wear-resistant surface. The smaller, harder-working cogs are heat-treated AISI 9840 steel with a nickel-phosphorus plating. Because the cassette is machined in two parts, the steel section and the aluminum section are each available separately as spare parts. If one part wears, you can renew just that part rather than replace the whole cassette. As with any cassette, keep the chain clean and lubricated and replace it before it wears, since a worn chain wears the cogs faster.
Which cog range should I choose?
Match the largest cog to how you ride and to your derailleur's cage. The 11-44T is the tightest, with closer steps, and uses the short cage. The 10-48T and 10-52T add an easier climbing gear and use the long cage. All three are 12-speed and fit a SRAM XD driver.
Which derailleur works with this cassette?
It is built for a 12-speed single-chainring drivetrain. It pairs directly with the Ingrid RD1 MK2 Rear Derailleur, on the cage length that matches your cog range. It also works with Shimano MTB (GS or SGS) derailleurs that can reach its largest cog. See the Will it fit section to match your derailleur.
Can I use a long cage derailleur with this cassette?
Yes. A long-cage derailleur works with all three cog ranges, and the 10-48T and 10-52T need the long cage to reach the largest cog. Hammer & Howl stocks the long-cage Ingrid RD1 MK2 Rear Derailleur, which covers all three. On the 11-44T a short cage is the closer match. It holds the chain a little more taut, for quieter, crisper shifting and a bit more ground clearance. A long cage is fully functional with the 11-44T too, and it lets you step up to the 10-48T or 10-52T later without changing the derailleur. It does carry a little more chain slack on the 44T than on the 52T.
Which cog ranges are in stock?
The 11-44T ships now. The 10-48T and 10-52T are out of stock. Every page shows the current state on the size you select. All three are the same two-part steel and aluminum cassette, built for a SRAM XD driver.
What if I have a Shimano HG freehub?
Choose the Ingrid 12-Speed Cassette for Shimano HG, the same 11-44T cassette built for a Shimano HG (Hyperglide) freehub. Match the version to your freehub: SRAM XD here, Shimano HG there.
