I dont see a price for the cassette but the rest looks quite affordable compared to XO1 and XX1.

From the pricing it looks like it sits under the X1.

This seems too good to be true..I hope it is though, would really be great value for the consumer!!!

It's the x8 of sram don't think the quality will be that good to be honest

You should be able to use a 11spd RD & Shifter with your 10spd Cass. Will have to adjust your limit screw a bit.

Won't work. Different actuation ratio.

 

That's not what he's talking about tho. Would have been great to see the x sync tech come to 10sp as well

I know it's not what he's talking about, but it's a make shift second choice.

 

It will work, if you are referring to the actuation ratio of shifter to derailleur they both 11spd. If you run a 11spd shifer and 11spd Derailleur with a 10spd Cassette. A 11spd Derailleur with a 10spd shifter and Cassette won't work.

[Skylark]

If you reuse your current 1x converted crank/chainring (apparently the 11sp chain will work on any 10sp compatible chainring), for around R5k you can be doing 1x11 properly, new 1x11 RD, Cass, Shifter and Chain, all for about the price of just the XX1 cass.

yep, i know that. but you can't remove the 11sp price premium by adjusting the limit screw a little bit.
