  • . This SRAM X01 Eagle Rear Mech is equipped with SRAM’s Type 3.0 Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢ feature, which provides a more consistently quiet drivetrain and even better chain retention than the previous model. Although the X01 may not have the carbon fibre construction of the higher spec XX1 model, it still retains all of SRAM’s top-end technologies The X01 Eagle rear mech has been completely redesigned and is equipped with the very best of SRAM’s drivetrain features. These include the race winning X-Actuation‚Ñ¢ and X-Horizon‚Ñ¢ technologies, which ensure ghost shifting and random jumps between the cogs are a thing of the past, so you’ll enjoy ultra quick, precise and consistent shifts every time As it’s compatible with a wide-range 10-50T cassette, Eagle X01 provides a 500-percent gear range, which is a 20-percent increase compared to 11-speed 1x drivetrains.

Just push the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢: SRAM’s Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢ rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability, even through the most punishing terrain. With Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢ technology, derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision X-Actuation‚Ñ¢: Developed specifically for SRAM 1x‚Ñ¢, X-Actuation‚Ñ¢ keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette. X-Horizon‚Ñ¢:¬†The X-Horizon‚Ñ¢ rear derailleur’s ‚Äòstraight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears X-Sync‚Ñ¢: SRAM’s X-sync‚Ñ¢ pulleys and chainrings tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, helps manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC‚Ñ¢ chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC‚Ñ¢ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x‚Ñ¢ drivetrainBuy¬†SRAM Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Derailleurs.

Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 373 different products in the Derailleurs category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 407 products from SRAM (although only 54 of the 407 are in the Derailleurs category).

Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Derailleurs. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.

Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from SRAM. Below we’re going to get into the detail of SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 to help you see how the prices stack up.

We start this price analysis by looking at the price you can expect to pay for Derailleurs. There are 373 different products available at Chain Reaction Cycles, and of those 373, the average price is £70.97. There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £2.75 and most expensive was £499.

The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: SRAM. The average price was £162.54 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £1.5 up to £1724.99 with SRAM products.

And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of SRAM products that appear specifically in the Derailleurs category. So you can see that the price of SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 at £172.8 is great value considering the average price of SRAM Derailleurs is £102.54 and the price varies from £7.59.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that we managed to find SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 during our price scan of several cycle retailers, for the amazing price of £172.8 which represents a £12.20 or 7% saving against RRP. If you think SRAM X01 Eagle 12sp Rear Mech Type 3.0 ticks all of your boxes in terms of quality and features then it’s more than likely going to be a winner bearing in mind the price.
