'LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE'

Strengths:
Weight (or lack thereof!), durability, finish.

Weaknesses:
I'd be splitting hairs

Overall:
Was very pleased with this, a side by side weigh in with a 2007 XT cassette showed the SRAM unit to be significantly lighter. It's gone the distance too, having lasted me over 18 months, so I have very little to gripe about.

The pedants might suggest that the Shimano equivalent gives nappier shifts and some suggest that XT is more durable, but if paired with a decent chain you shouldn't have any problems.

The best news of all is that they can be had for as little as £35 on CRC... Right in line with XT.
