Leonardi Factory unveils General Lee 11-speed cassette

Italian component manufacturer Leonardi has released details of its latest product, an 11-speed cassette boasting an expansive 9-42t range.

Leonardi already offers its wide-range General Lee cassette in a 10-speed version as well as a wide-range expander kit. This latest addition to the line is intended to compete head-to-head with SRAM’s own 10-42t 11-speed cassettes.

We're expecting e*thirteen to release its 9-42T 11-speed 'EXP' cassette soon, however, Leonardi is first to market.

Much like SRAM’s 1x cassettes, the Leonardi General Lee features a two-piece construction using steel and aluminium. The eight smallest cogs are machined from steel, while the three largest cogs are machined from 7075 T6 aluminium. The two halves of the cassette are held together with 12 pins. The cassette is designed to fit SRAM’s XD driver body standard.
