Cycling 4020 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Hi everyone. Hope you are well. I was wondering if I could get some of your opinions. I currently have a Sram XX1 gold edition groupset on my bike. Is it worth it to upgrade to Sram GX AXS? Will I get a good second hand deal if I trade my derailleur and shiter for a GX? When I resell the bike would it be easier to sell it with a XX1 or GX AXS? Regards Edrich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No batteries to worry about. Brand new the gx axs kits sell for about 10k-12k, not sure about second hand price OVERDRIVE and amac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you're after as well though. XX1 gold- Light, reliable, fast shifting and butter smooth. Being mechanical it is susceptible to worn cable housings and impact damage. GX AXS- Heavy, near bomb-proof, slower shifting but consistently smooth and effortless. Not susceptible to cable wear and the only weakness is your hangar really, but even then it will auto-adjust to a bent hangar. Most people I know stick with GX AXS once they've changed, the shifting does take some getting used to and the weight penalty doesn't really count given the benefits, shifting and shifter use are way less effort. For peace of mind, get spare battery/s. Cycling 4020, TheoG and OVERDRIVE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted November 24, 2023 Share I'm still on good ol GX mechanical But with the XX1 trigger , shifter makes such a big difference If money was no object I'd probably be on mechanical XX1 , the electronic stuff just doesn't appeal to me anymore ( it did in the beginning ) eala 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifting is very good with no skipping. It would be nice though if the individual gears could be fine tuned like you can do with Archers D1x Trail. But if you set it up properly, shifting is perfect every time. I did reduce the weight on mine by fitting a Garbaruk cage, now equivalent to a XX1 AXS. https://www.garbaruk.com/sram-12-speed-axs-rd-cage.html?category=14 Edited November 24, 2023 by TheoG Cycling 4020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave303e Posted November 24, 2023 Share GX AXS all the way... I have not adjusted my gears once in over 18 months and it hasn't missed a beat. My derailleur took a direct hit from a BMW GS 1200 and still shifted perfectly for the rest of the ride(200km) and I didn't even need to change the hanger/dropout. In a world of 1x drivetrains you have access to data to see how much time your were in which gear and workout the perfect size chainring to run for that area and your fitness.

Murrob Posted November 24, 2023 Share GX AXS, with the Csixx cage upgrade, puts you within a few grams of XX1 AXS. Super reliable shifting with no issues. For the best shifting, run a shimano 12 speed cassette and chain. Cycling 4020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovan Le Cok Posted November 24, 2023 Share I have just gone from an older mechanical XX1 to the new AXS GX and it has been phenomenal. Before the bike arrived I though I would upgrade straightaway but I am going to keep the GX. Cycling 4020 and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
