![]() ![]() The derailleur features a replaceable outer link and skid plates so you can rebuild it as needed. This differs to the one-piece construction found on the XX and X0 derailleurs, and as a result the GX version features a reconfigured gearbox and a repositioned AXS battery that has been tucked in further inboard to keep it better protected. In terms of construction, the GX Eagle AXS derailleur utilises a two-piece assembly for the Full Mount section that bolts directly to the frame. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS derailleur uses a steel inner cage to help lower the price. You’ll need to have your chain cut to the right length and the derailleur’s A/B setup key set to the correct position, but otherwise installation is incredibly fast and easy. The setup procedure is identical, with no limit screws or B-tension adjustments required. As with XX and X0, that means you’ll only be able to fit the new GX Eagle Transmission to a bike that features UDH-compatible dropouts. Utilising the same hanger-less design, the GX derailleur bolts directly to your bike’s dropout via the UDH interface. We’ll start at the business end of the SRAM GX Eagle Transmission with the new derailleur. No need for a hanger anymore – the SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission derailleur bolts directly to your bike’s UDH dropout. A conventional hanger just looks kinda flimsy now. We’ve not dropped a chain or experienced any mis-shifts with the GX Eagle Transmission, and we appreciate how solid the direct-mount derailleur feels. So what exactly are the differences between GX and its pricier siblings? We’ve had the chance to install and ride a SRAM GX Eagle Transmission over the past few weeks, and here we’ll be taking a closer look at all the tech details behind it, and how it performs out on the trail. The new SRAM GX Eagle Transmission trickles down the same AXS tech found in the latest XX and X0 groupsets to a more accessible price point.Īs well as being good news for those who are keen to fit a SRAM transmission to their existing mountain bike, we expect that GX will be an immensely popular groupset on complete bikes for 2024 and beyond. A GX Eagle Transmission will start at $1,631 AUD, which is 56% less than an XX SL groupset, and 40% cheaper than X0. GX is now the fourth groupset to adopt the T-Type transmission design, and as expected it’s the cheapest by a hefty margin. As you may have seen in our SRAM XX Eagle Transmission review, we’ve been mega impressed with the robustness and ease of setup of the new hanger-free derailleur, and we’re excited to see many of the same technologies being trickled down to a more accessible price point. The new SRAM GX Eagle Transmission arrives hot on the heels of the XX SL, XX and X0 groupsets that launched earlier this year. Flow reviews the new SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission ![]()
