Incredibly cool look with super vibrant anodized colors
Very lightweight (117g for the 11-28T 11-speed model)
Significantly cheaper than when this type of cassette first came out (cost them Β£61)
Cons
Durability is a trade-off, especially for riders in hilly areas who use the aluminum climbing gears a lot (may only get 1500 miles)
Shifting quality is not quite as smooth as an official Shimano Hyperglide cassette
Can be a little bit noisier
