The only available source is a single YouTube channel that mentions the cassette incidentally during a budget AliExpress gravel bike build, providing no dedicated review, performance testing, or durability assessment. The cassette is identified as a 12-speed 11-42T unit costing roughly €31–34, but no independent voices corroborate any claims, so no consensus on quality or performance can be established.
Cons
- AliExpress added extra fees from November 1st, making such products potentially less worthwhile to order there1

Reviews & Ratings
23:24The reviewer does not discuss a cassette as a standalone component in this video. The cassette is only referenced indirectly during the electronic shifting setup, where he mentions changing the cassette configuration in the Wheeltop app to 12-speed and notes that the derailleur can handle 3- to 14-speed setups. He also refers to the largest and smallest sprockets when cutting the chain and calibrating the gears, but provides no specific review, brand, or evaluation of the cassette itself.
34:27The reviewer briefly mentions the cassette (Kassette) only as one of the components laid out for the AliExpress gravel bike build, listing it alongside the chainring, bottom bracket, and crank arms. No detailed discussion, installation, or evaluation of the cassette is provided in this transcript excerpt.
17:39The reviewer mentions the SUNSHINE 11-42T 12-speed cassette only briefly as one line item in his gravel bike build cost breakdown, noting its price and customs fees without offering any detailed performance, durability, or installation commentary.
