SRAM's Eagle drivetrain group puts the final nail on the coffin that the mountain front derailleur has been laid to rest in. Building upon the success and engineering of the
SRAM X1 11-speed groups
Eagle takes it to the next level by offering the widest possible gear range in a 1x drivetrain.
The
SRAM XX1 Eagle rear derailleur is capable of working with the
SRAM Eagle 10-50t cassette, but extended range is not the only upgrade over the XX1 11-speed rear derailleur.
XX1 Eagle rear derailleurs upgrade to a
carbon cage over the alloy cage used by the
Eagle X01 rear derailleur.
Eagle XX1 rear derailleurs include a 14t lower jockey pulley to increase the capacity of the
Eagle XX1 rear derailleur without greatly lengthening the cage.
Even the Roller Bearing Clutch has been upgraded for the
Eagle rear derailleurs. The new
SRAM Type-3 Roller Bearing Clutch has a smoother torque curve for a stronger, more consistent, and quieter operation even over rough terrain. To reduce the overall profile of the
Eagle rear derailleur, SRAM moved the Cage Lock button behind the pivot knuckle tucking it up and out of the way.
