Skinnyone Posted February 23, 2018 Share I reckon it would be really easy to take an existing Red RD and slap an Eagle jockey cage/holder onto it. So the spy pics are probably not far off... Also don't forget all the privateer "hacks" before XTR Di2 was launched, using the Dura Ace RD and fitting a MTB cage to it...using the sprinters shift buttons etc. So to develop this gruppo shouldn't be rocket surgery for the boys at Sram.

Skinnyone Posted February 23, 2018 Share That might well work on 11 speed.... but on Eagle's 12?Yeah - however who's to know what is/isn't easily cross compatible? I don't think someone would willingly mess around with the options if they had to pay for the parts, but I know that I could fit an XT cage onto an XTR derailleur back in the day... Sram have an engineering room that they can easily put something together in a relatively quick time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted February 23, 2018 Share Some more unconfirmed leaks. This time the shifter which seems similar to the patents that have been dug up. BikeisLife, Andrew_Smith, Farrnus and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted February 23, 2018 Share this is awesome!!! if your rear battery goes flat, you can just swap it out with the front one. that's why etap's so nifty... oh.... what now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Whisperer Posted February 25, 2018 Share this is awesome!!! if your rear battery goes flat, you can just swap it out with the front one. that's why etap's so nifty... oh.... what now?? Except there is no front one in an Eagle 1x12 setup. But... there's alays the back pocket for a spare. The battery gives you approx 1000km, so ample to do an "Epic" ride on one charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB Cruiser Posted March 8, 2018 Share I just saw this video, doesn't look like a shifter cable there? Have a look around the 17 second mark. https://www.redbull.tv/video/AP-1UWHZGM8S1W11/andrew-and-nino-hit-the-track?playlist=playlists::aa8e8165-cdc9-4726-8171-1209bf4a249b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeisLife Posted March 8, 2018 Share If you follow Nino on Instagram, you’ll see he’s definitely running eagle etap. Sad part is, you’ll probably have to take out a loan to afford it ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
