microSHIFT ADVENT Cassette - 9 Speed, 11-46T, ED Black, Hardened Steel Cogs

It looks and feels solid. The range is sufficient for my needs. The best thing I like about it is that it's quiet when it runs and shifts. Sunrace is the opposite of that.

I use this super-strong cassette on a BBSHD-electrified cargo bike and an electric street bike also assisted by a BBSHD. Both bikes use 14S/52v batteries so PLENTY of power is capable of coursing through that chain to the back cluster. The recipe for long drivetrain life with such a system includes a very strong steel rear cluster and this Advent steel version looks almost like it was developed specifically for a mid drive ebike.

- No spiders. The cogs are 1-piece steel
- The cassette is pinned together in many places all the way up into the big cogs. making it a 1-piece unit.

1-piece cassettes are the best for electric-assist bikes because the force being applied to the cluster is distributed across the entire cassette body rather than it all being applied to a single independent cog. That means good things for the parts underneath that are next in line to take a beating.

On the two bikes that use this cluster one is a Microshift Advent long cage derailleur (the mid-cage will work too) and the other uses a Box Components Box Two derailleur. This cassette will work just fine with any 9-speed derailleur regardless of brand so long as that derailleur can fit a 46T big cog..;

I have been using the 11-42 version and bought this to add gear range to my Fat Bike set up. Background-got a Ritchey Commando Fatbike frame/fork and wanted an affordable build as this is solely just a whim buy/unneeded bike to ride when trails are muddy. Well The metal upgraded thumbshift Advent shifters with the Advent deraileur and the cassette are just AMAZING! I actually LOVE the large teeth jumps for the riding that I do in the Southeast US-making ONE shift beats making 3-4 shifts to have a DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT USEABLE GEAR! Yeah if I was riding in a road team time trial I would NOT want these jumps but for roller coaster Southeast US terrain the big jumps are actually beneficial! Microshift I am AMAZED! I expected something like 'okay shifting for the price' or 'good value' but as a guy who is used to Chorus XTR and Dura Ace shifting-I say INCREDIBLE! I am going to put Microshift 9 speed on my MTB and Touring travel bikes and make them 1x9s rather than the current 2x11s for less fussy more practical gearing for traveling.
