Cheers Nick. I actually work with someone who gets me parts at a discount from slam69 which is why I posted their link (although its a fair bit more money). I'll save that ebay link anyhow because it'll come in handy one day :D

I use a sunrace 11-46 cassette on my entry level 2019 levo works perfectly with the nx derailer much better than the cheapo sram cassette that came with the bike and lighter as well

The sram nx cassette fits on a shimano freehub not a sram xd driver. The cassette is very heavy individual steel rings. The sunrace rings are mostly mounted on ali carriers and is a much lighter cassette with in my opinion better teeth profiles
They do 11-42 11-46 and 11-50 cassettes all fittingnon Shimano freehubs

I have a PG-1230, all my research suggests that it too isn't on XD driver. Did you mean the whole PG-xxxx range is all on a shimano freehub?

I'm also thinking about changing stock 11-42t cassette for 11-46t or 11-50t, does any1 have info how longer the chain should be for using bigger 46 or 50t rings?

EDIT: Nevermind, after posting this I found this review which clearly says I cannot run such big cogs with Sram GX 1x11 derailleur, so I have to scrap this idea for now ...

I have had absolutely no issues running a 11-46 cassette on a GX rear mech.

I see that max nr. of teeth GX 1x11 is willing to shift is 49... Do you use Sunrace cassette?

Yes as a matter of fact I did initially but it’s a POS. Very soft and smaller sprockets are like butter and bends easily. Also, shifting is noisy and not very precise. Buy a Deore cassette instead is my recommendation.

SLX M7000 11speed cassettes are way better VFM with almost exactly the same performance.
especially if you can find an older model with just the one Alu sprocket.
there's a slight <50g weight difference (depending on chosen ratio/alu sprocket config)

If you can cope with an 11-40 they're often avaialble as cheap as £30
