SRAM X01 Eagle XG-1295 Cassette Description:
Take a quick look at the SRAM X-DOME Eagle cassette. The last dangling shred of an argument in favor of a mountain bike front derailleur is now officially dead. Designed for use with SRAM's proven, reliable XD driver body, this 12-speed, 10- to 52-tooth cassette offers an optimal 500-percent gear range at a considerably lighter weight than 2x systems. It carries with it the X-DOME architecture, which, independent tests have concluded, yields the strongest cassettes on the market. New shifting characteristics improve both, inboard and outboard shifting, as well as chain retention.
Features:
- SRAM’s cassette manufacturing technology provides the greatest durability and lightest weight
- All-new shifting features create a smoother, quieter system with enhanced inboard and outboard shift performance
- XD driver body compatible
X-DOME
X-DOME technology creates an incredibly lightweight, precise and strong cassette. The open design aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.
X-Glide 2
X-GLIDE 2 is next generation of SRAM X-GLIDE technology optimized for the EAGLE 12-speed cassette. It provides quick, precise, power-on shifting performance throughout the gear range, and increases chain retention on larger cogs.
XD Driver Body
XD cassette driver body design allows for the use of a 10 tooth small cog and provides an improved interface with the cassette.

I asked Performance Bicycle to submit a warranty claim to SRAM. If SRAM sends me a new one under warranty and it doesn't have this problem, I'll update my review.
Update: SRAM declined the claim, stating that the wear is normal. Yet SRAM's marketing claims that the coating is one of the things that makes the cassette last so long and shift so smoothly. Unfortunately, this marketing claim can't be true if the coating starts wearing off almost immediately and SRAM considers such wear to be normal. Very disappointing for such an expensive product.
