GX Eagle AXS Groupset (Without Crankset)

Crank:
The GX Eagle crank arms immediately catch the eye with their distinctive shape. Made from 7000 aluminum, they also withstand occasional bumps and stone chips. The crank is complemented by an X-Sync 2 Direct Mount chainring. This impresses with a significantly smoother running of the chain and better self-cleaning in muddy conditions. With the proven alternating thick-thin tooth profile, it holds the chain securely in place. The crank comes with a 32-tooth chain ring. The bare aluminum teeth look like new even after thousands of kilometers, since unsightly, worn spots in the anodized are not possible. You can find retrofit chainrings with 30 to 38 teeth in our shop.Controllers:
The AXS Controller is the control center for the GX Eagle AXS groupset. With its rocker switch, the controller offers you a completely new switching experience. The buttons of the rocker can be individually configured via the AXS app. In addition to the two switching points in the usual position, the controller offers a sprint shifter on the front of the handlebars, which can be operated without even having to take your finger off the grip.

Rear derailleur:
In contrast to the high-end XX1 AXS rear derailleur, the cage of the GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur is made of steel instead of carbon. That pushes the price down and makes the rear derailleur even more robust on the trail. For this, you have to put up with almost 100 grams more weight compared to the top version. The proven overload clutch provides better protection for the rear derailleur in the event of a fall. It briefly decouples the rear derailleur under extreme loads so that it can avoid the load and protect the electric motor from damage. However, the rear derailleur immediately jumps back into the selected gear. As a positive side effect, the rear derailleur hanger and derailleur hanger are better protected in the event of a fall. The Roller Bearing Clutch 3 guarantees a safe chain run.

Cassette:
Regardless of whether pedal-heavy descents or the steepest ramps, the XG-1275 cassette with 10-52 teeth provides you with the right gears in every terrain. The stamped steel sprockets and a 52-tooth aluminum sprocket ensure a high durability of the cassette. The sprockets are not connected via a spider, but are riveted with stainless steel pins. This not only makes the fullpin cassette lighter than conventional cassettes, the open design also offers excellent self-cleaning in muddy conditions. The teeth, optimized with SRAM’s X-Glide 2 technology, ensure optimal shifting performance when shifting up and down. A wider range compared to the Eagle cassettes with 10-50 teeth not only offers more reserves for extremely steep climbs. High-performing riders can run a larger chainring with the range increased to 520% ​​without compromising the bike’s climbing abilities. As a result, the drive enables a higher top speed and the driver also uses the larger sprockets of the cassette more often, which are more efficient.

Chain:
The GX Eagle chain was specially developed for the requirements of the 12-speed drive. Due to its unique design, the chain has a high wear resistance. A nickel coating offers a high level of protection against corrosion and reduces the friction of the chain. The revised PowerLock chain lock has a longer service life and is even easier to use.
