Road vs. XPLR — What’s the Difference?

Road Cassettes

• Designed for paved surfaces and traditional road cycling.
• Lower gear ranges (e.g., 11–28T, 11–32T) suited to consistent pedaling cadences and high speed.
• Perfect for racing, group rides, and long asphalt tours.

XPLR Cassettes

• Built for “explore” riding — think gravel, mixed surfaces, light dirt roads and bikepacking.
• Wider gear ranges (e.g., up to 10–44T) to help with steep climbs and variable terrain.
• Offers extra climbing gears while maintaining smooth shifting across the range.
