SRAM 11-speed cassette for double chainrings?

SRAM makes several 10-speed 11-36 cassettes for double and triple chainrings but I cannot find a SRAM 11-speed cassette for double chainrings, they all seem to be for a single chainring. Is this right? Does SRAM not market an 11-speed cassette for a double chainring?

To clarify, I am referring to the availability of 11-speed, 11-36 SRAM cassette for double chinring.

I don't see why you couldn't use the 1x Wonder* 11-36 cassette with a double chainring crank. Finding a compatible rear derailleur might be more difficult, though. I use the aforementioned cassette with a SRAM CX1 rear derailleur, but only with a single chainring.

I think what's confusing the OP is SRAMs Mtb xx group uses a different free hub body to allow a 10 cog

While I see two options listed directly on Sram's website: https://www.sram.com/sram/road/component/cassettes, they are indeed only for the 1X rear derailleur series.

My guess is that none of the Sram road RDs have a long enough cage to support a 36t in the back.

OP, here's a better question, why do you need 36 on the back? You can go 32 with a Sram Long Cage rear derailleur. With a compact crank, that's nearly a 1:1 ration.
