Are SRAM cassettes fully Shimano compatible?

[JTE83]

Is the full range of SRAM cassettes - Rival, Force, and RED - fully Shimano 10 speed compatible?

Reason is I saw in a bike mag today that SRAM has a RED 11-26 10 speed cassette. Now that's an awesome gear range to combine with a compact crank! Do they also have it in Rival and Force too?

yup

Yes they are. Shifting is not quite as nice, though this is primarily a concern with just DA or Ultegra-mix.

Durability is quite good, especially price-wise.

I would choose Ultegra when given a choice, however.

My shifting actually improved when I went from a Shimano 105 to a SRAM Cassette.
