Keep your 9-speed mountain bike shifting crisply with the SRAM PG-970, a proven narrow-range cassette built for fast, positive gear changes on the trail. The 12-23 tooth spread gives close, even steps that suit cross-country riding and faster terrain where you want minimal gaps between gears.

Highlights

  • 9-speed cassette with a tight 12-23 tooth range for smooth, closely-spaced shifts
  • PowerGlide steel cogs engineered for durability and reliable indexing
  • Shaped tooth profiles and shift ramps for quick, confident gear changes under load
  • Fits standard Shimano/SRAM HG freehub bodies

Built for dependable shifting

The PG-970 uses SRAM's PowerGlide cog design, pairing hardened steel sprockets with carefully shaped teeth and shift ramps. The result is positive, repeatable index shifting that holds up to hard use, making it a sensible choice for cross-country and trail riders who want a long-lasting, no-fuss cassette.

Close-ratio 12-23 gearing

With a 12-23 spread across nine sprockets, this cassette keeps the jumps between gears small. That makes it easier to hold an efficient cadence on rolling and faster terrain, where wide-range gearing would leave bigger gaps between shifts.

Compatibility and fit

The PG-970 is a 9-speed cassette and requires a 9-speed drivetrain and chain. It mounts to a standard Shimano/SRAM HG (Hyperglide-pattern) freehub body, the most common freehub type on 8/9/10-speed wheels. If you are unsure whether your wheel and drivetrain suit this cassette, contact us before ordering.
