Iwan Kemp Posted August 23, 2016 Share SRAM introduced the first ever 12 speed mountain bike groupsets in March with the announcement of their Eagle XX1 and X01 drivetrains. While the Eagle X01 drivetrain is suitable for all riding styles up to and including Enduro racing, the Eagle XX1 is geared towards cross-country with the use of light weight materials.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heel Drop Posted August 24, 2016 Share wonder what it will cost to replace only the cassette probably around 7-9k depending which one and that probably only last 4-6000km - so twice a year if you ride allot - that is crazeeee money Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted August 25, 2016 Share So after 5 years at last a 1x system offers the range of a 2x system but at what cost? This review is incomplete with no mention of what it's like to have an 8 tooth ramp between the 42t and 50t cogs and before that the 6 tooth ramp from 36t to 42t. This is one of the most obvious and serious shortcomings of any 1x system and too often I hear of riders complaining of being between gears.

Meezo Posted August 25, 2016 Share So after 5 years at last a 1x system offers the range of a 2x system but at what cost? This review is incomplete with no mention of what it's like to have an 8 tooth ramp between the 42t and 50t cogs and before that the 6 tooth ramp from 36t to 42t. This is one of the most obvious and serious shortcomings of any 1x system and too often I hear of riders complaining of being between gears. Knowing that the biggest jump in number of teeth was from the 42T to the new 50T Granny, I shifted between these cogs under varied circumstances, but each time the chain slotted into place without any drama or a feeling that it was a stretch for the drivetrain. Overall, the shifting experience was "positive" with no ghost-shifting or delay in engaging when shifting up or down.
