Levo Gen 2 Newbie cassette question

[Ma77c]

Good evening, sorry for the newb question, but what cassette is a good replacement for the one on my 2016 Levo expert?
Can’t see if it says XD comparable?

It clearly shows XD COMPATIBLE ONLY, and 10t smallest cog is also on XD only, and XG-1150 is also XD cassette...

Sorry, looked like XL hence the question...
cheers, best to just get another sram one? And do I need any special tools?

When I converted my 2019 Levo carbon comp from the original 11 to SRAM AXS 12 gears I found this gude.

Hope it helps

Not necessarily a SRAM one but definitely one with an XD driver fitment. No other special tools are required that wouldn't be needed for any other MTB cassette, just a cassette tool and chain whip.

I run into this issue frequently in my work (which involves writing product requirements for medical devices) - it "clearly" shows XD if you already know it's supposed to say XD. If you don't already know it's XD, then it could be XE or XL. Many times experts don't remember what it was like before they became experts.

No insult intended, just a reminder to the experts.

XG-1150 (the same as you have) is a good replacement. It's full steel. All the other more expensive 11-speed SRAM cassettes will have an aluminum 42t cog. In case it's not clear, this is a "GX" cassette. Don't confuse it with the XG-1175, which is also GX, and is the same cassette structure, but with an aluminum 42t.

Both SunRace and Ethirteen use some aluminum cogs, I would avoid them. Not that they will fail, they just wear out faster.

Thanks for all the advise, I’ve gone with the original sram one.
