Anyone using Sunrace cassettes?
They're very inexpensive.

If you have used them, how have you found the shifting to be?

Using an 11-36 one on my gravel bike as Shimano don't make one - no problems so far.

I have a 11-32 on a road bike. Actually like the cog progression in that range better than the Shimano offering. Shifting is very good. Maybe not excellent as Shimano, but not enough difference to really matter.

In the past I would've dismissed them, but my MTB came with an 11s 11-42T which worked great. Ended up replacing it with a Shimano SLX cassette and can't really tell the difference.

An 11-28 from this brand came installed on my new Wahoo Kickr. It shifted OK but didn’t sit perfectly in all gears. Installed a 105 cassette of the same size and the issues disappeared.

Personally I recommend Shimano cassettes with Shimano groups. A 105 isn’t really a budget buster.

I've got a Sunrace 12-32 8 speed cassette (which I've modified into a 13-32 by replacing the 1st position 12 with a 1st position 13) one one of my bikes. It works fine. Using a Shimano cassette isn't an option: the Shimano XTR M900 12-32 8 speed was discontinued many years ago. Kudos to Sunrace for bringing it back.

I have for some time now on several MTBs. One thing I've noticed the Sunrace cass fits loosely on some freehubs where a Shimano cass fits more secure. The loose fit causes the cass cogs to dig into the freehub.
Shifting is on par with Shimano XT, at least I can't tell the difference.

Using one on my mountain bike. Works great. Nicely made and light. Shifting has been excellent.

I have an 11-36 10 speed cassette on my Croix de Fer. Like everyone else seems to say, works great, shifts fine, no complaints.
