What is the SRAM hierarchy?

What is the SRAM hierarchy?

The SRAM road hierarchy is relatively simple compared to its expansive and confusingly labelled MTB echelons. There are just four main subdivisions: Apex is its entry-level system, followed by the mid-range Rival, and topped by the performance-level Force and pro-standard Red.

What are the levels of SRAM components?

SRAM’s road groupset range comprises four main groups: Apex, Rival, Force and Red (low to high, in terms of price). All of its road groupsets now include a hydraulic disc brake option.

Can you convert SRAM Force 1x to 2x?

This is absolutely possible, you’d just need 2x chainrings, front derailleur, and potentially new chain (most likely). Then you just have to go through the pairing process with the AXS app, to pair the FD with the rest of the system, and you are all set.

Is SRAM X1 the same as X01?

X01 is one price bracket more expensive than X1, its very similar to XX1 in terms of tech but the focus here is on durability rather than weight-conscious riders. As a result, it’s heavier but perhaps sturdier.

Which SRAM components are the best?

Best SRAM Mountain Bike Groupset Buying Guide

• SRAM’s groupsets are sought-after for their industry-leading weight-saving properties.
• SRAM SX Eagle is the brand’s entry-level groupset.
• XX1 Eagle AXS is SRAM’s top-end drivetrain collection, used by many professional riders in elite competition.

Can road bike groupset be used on MTB?

There are a couple of problems using a road group on an MTB frame. If you have a frame with 130mm rear spacing and a 68 or 73mm BB shell, you can fit a external BB, road crank and rim brake hub. (I checked: 105 5700 and R7000 cranks both work with 68 and 73mm shells.

Can you use a 2x rear derailleur for a 1x?

No. Both drivetrain setups use the same rear derailleur unless you are using a 10-50 or 11-50 Eagle™ cassette. These cassettes require the use of an Eagle™ AXS™ rear derailleur.

Is XX1 or xo1 better?

THE DIFFERENCES IN X01 is designed to be best for enduro and aggressive trail riding to meet a balance of weight and durability. The X01 AXS derailleur has nearly the same construction of XX1, but with stainless steel hardware, a fully alloy pulley cage for extra durability, and steel pulley wheel bearings.

Does X01 cassette last longer than GX?

I had an X01 Eagle derailleur last me 2 years without issue. In contrast, I went through a GX Eagle derailleur in 6 months before it developed play and lost shift quality. The X01 Eagle chain also last far longer than GX. The GX Eagle cassette, cranks and shifter seemed solid to me.

Does SRAM own Zipp?

SRAM acquires Zipp, providing Zipp with additional expertise and resources.

Why are 1x drivetrains better?

Are 1x drivetrains worth it?

The biggest advantage is probably how a 1x drivetrain lets you focus on your ride, instead of constantly adjusting gears. It’s also less likely that your chain will drop off the front since it’s fixed to one chain ring . All this does come at a price.
