Smooth Like Origin, Quiet Like Never Before. Engineered to Outperform.
Forget compromises. The Neutron Cassette MK2 delivers a paradigm shift in drivetrain performance, offering shifting precision that rivals original equipment, coupled with a level of noise reduction that creates a truly silent ride. We didn't just aim to match the standard; we engineered the MK2 to surpass it.
Choose your advantage and tailor your performance with our cutting-edge coating technologies:
⚡ DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) Black Diamond Coating
The racer's edge. Renowned for its ultra-low friction coefficient, our DLC coating provides the silkiest, most responsive shifting possible. It's the ultimate upgrade for riders seeking every possible watt of efficiency and a flawless gear change under load. Performs equally well with both SRAM and Shimano drivetrains.Please note: The ultra-low friction of DLC creates a trade-off. While delivering unparalleled shifting speed, it also results in a stronger shifting impact and louder shifting noise compared to our PVD or other standard coatings. This is the signature of a race-focused, performance-first design.
⚡ Enhanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Coating
The endurance champion. Our enhanced PVD process offers superior wear resistance and unmatched long-term durability. Optimized for Shimano drivetrains, it's the ideal choice for high-mileage training, intense gran fondos, and riders who demand the utmost reliability from their components.

Pro-Tip: Maximize Performance & Longevity
To ensure a flawless transition and to guarantee the quiet, precise shifting the Neutron Cassette is designed for, we strongly recommend installing a new chain at the same time. Pairing a new cassette with a worn chain is the primary cause of drivetrain noise and can lead to premature wear of both components.
