SRAM introduces 12-speed Eagle drivetrains

[News bot]

SRAM introduced the first ever, purpose built 1x drivetrain, and is the absolute leader in 1x technology and innovation. We have manufactured, tested and ridden hundreds of thousands of SRAM 1x drivetrains, and have capitalized on the lessons learned from our experience to create all new drivetrains with Eagle Technology. Eagle drivetrains provide unparalleled performance, enhanced toughness and durability, and the freedom of a 500 percent gear range.

My (26") 11 speed  XX1 shifter, cassette and rear derailleur will be in the classifieds pretty soon.

Wow

Want

Must Have ????

cool, so you can run a bigger chain ring and get some top end speed, yet still climb out any climb.

 

 

only thing though, the engineering dept clearly broke into the marketing dept office at night and changed what I am sure would have been a very catchy and sexy name for the new 1 x 12 groupsets, and these engineers spent the whole night coming up with something that got them excited .... enter "eagle" ..... not a very sexy name for a groupset.

 

anyhow, these engineers have certainly been doing stellar work at SRAM as of late, so they are allowed to get away with it!

No it right. USD price is excl GST and EURO price includes 20% VAT

Its only slightly more expensive than the current XX1 and XO1 groups. 

Remember t switch over from 11 to 12 you just need

shifter

derailleur

chain

cassette

chainring

 

You can keep your existing chainset if its a 1x with direct mount compatible

This will make me be willing to ditch 2x, but only in 2-3 years time when it trickles down to X1, GX level.

Hell with a voice like that it must be the truth.

Very nice but do they really need two different but the same versions for a 46g difference?

I'm going to get a lot of HATE for this but seriously , Is there no-one here that thinks this is becoming a little over the top I mean honestly!       ( A f***ing 50t granny are you an XC world cup rider or Oupa Jan)
