The 10-45T range helps keep jumps between gears manageable, so you can maintain momentum and ride more smoothly over varied terrain. Compatible with appropriate Shimano 12-speed chains and freehub standards, it is a solid upgrade or replacement option for riders looking to refresh their drivetrain and enjoy consistent, dependable shifting on every ride.
