11-52 11sp Cassette options?

I’d like an 11-52 cassette for a Shimano freehub but there don’t seem to be many about in 11 speed.

Can anyone tell what I should be looking at please? Or are there really not many around, 11-51 does seem more common.

It’s for my gravel bike and I’d like a bail out granny gear so not too worried if it’s a big jump from the next lowest up to the 52T.

Cheers

I think various ZTTO stuff is available from China with that range. Whether it will play nicely with your mech is another matter.

Is 51 really not enough? Deore 5100 seems like the obvious choice.

If you can swap your freehub to XD then a few more options become available.

I would have thought the Shimano Deore 11-51 would be the obvious answer here. Unless weight is an issue and you want to shop around the less main brands like Sunrace / E13 / Ztto etc and see if you can save a few grams there.

My money would be on the deore I think.

Yeah deore 11-51 is the answer. I got one for £58 from bikepartsuk recently

As said above, is this within range of your mech? You may need a compatible 12sp rear mech if not.

Thanks, looks like 11-51 it is then. I wasn’t sure if I was just failing at searching.

Maybe even @sillyoldman ‘s one 🤔

Mech needs a longer cage (or an Eagle mech with the cable guide Fin changed).

Can confirm slx m7000 mech works fine on my hardtail with 11-51 cassette no goat link or rad cage needed. Went from a 46t cassette and just needed a few turns on the b screw

It’ll be to go with a SRAM Rival mech.
Don’t think a Shimano mech will work with SRAM Gravel (road) shifters?
