A few months ago SRAM released the latest version of their top-of-the-range Eagle AXS wireless transmission, a new generation of wireless electronic gear shifting for performance-oriented riders who want to be able to shift under load. However, with high-performance components comes a premium price tag... Until now, the all-new SRAM GX.

I recently pulled the trigger and bought the Axs XX T Tyoe. Fitted it to my trail bike and it’s flipping awesome. Doddle to fit and under load gear changes are a game changer. This GX version is the same thing just a fair bit cheaper. Prefer the battery placement too, something them didn’t do on the top tier versions. Awesome kit, SRAM are knocking it our the park at the mo. Paired it up with the new Ultimate stealth brakes also. Tidies up the cockpit and cables hardly noticeable now.

I own a 2020 Enduro bike with full X01 AXS and I'm quite unpleased it's not compatible with non UDH bike i own, which is a pity.

I think the SRAM T-type AXS Transmission is perfect for a full power MTB; but my 17 yr old MTB with Shimano Deore XT 3X10 has always shifted reliably under extreme duress going up a steep bluff in the woods! I think that is why Shimano is not feeling any pressure to change. XT is already fantastic!!!

Doddy, did you leave the shifting 'backwards'? I am glad to see someone else feels that the upper button to shift up the cogs makes more sense! Well, when the revised paddle for the prior version came out, the new paddle was more consistent with the mechanical shifter when set up backwards so now I have all my bikes set up that way including the ones with the t-type.

After two years of use, I had a bad experience with a GX Eagle AXS : one of the pogo pins making the connection between the battery and the derailleur broke. Of course warranty was void by two months. When contacted for a solution SRAM answered me that unfortunately there was nothing they can do to fix my problem. Solution proposed: buy a new derailleur!! I will think about it twice next time, that's for sure.

@Chunky246 8 месяцев назад

It was a weak clutch for sure, but the main problem was the whole DR slopping around as there is no cable housing to keep it tensioned. This new T-Type DR doesn't move, and they have increased the tension on the clutch. Downside is they say it does wear the battery down quicker. But apparently no more chain slap.

I use a mechanical 1x12 sram GX and I do not really see the point of the electronic gears. I have ridden bikes with electronic gears and I do not notice the shifting difference, a few milliseconds do not really matter if only a computer can notice them, I could not really see the benefit of it in racing or hobby riding. A well installed and maintained gear cable and mec shifts perceptively just as good and within similar precision. I really wish that Sram and Shimano will not fade out developing new mechanical group sets (for now I am not sure what they plans are). Not saying that I am opposing the technology but I wish they still made both mechanical and wireless so they can please both parties. I have a feeling that soon this kind of debate will transform into one of those rim brake vs disk brake topics.

Hi, I am about to make change wire to wireless and buy old version AXS GX is It worth to buy it or go straight for the T Type?

@livefreeandshred9818 11 месяцев назад

Does the old shifter work with the new gx ? And what are the weight comparisons old to new and gx to x0 and xx t type?

@8o8ertmtb 11 месяцев назад

I think it does, id be tempted to keep my current AXS shifter.

@Bobby_Chingas 10 месяцев назад

yes, it does work.

Could you run just the derailleur with the old eagle cassette chain and front cog? i.e. is the spacing the same? I appreciate it might not shift as clean…

@georgeelgar5986 11 месяцев назад

no, but the front chainring should be fine, as the new deraleur has very precisely set setup cogs that allow it to calibrate without limiting screws

Can I use my Kmc e turbo chain and shimano cassette??

@Timotelli 11 месяцев назад

I think you installed the right side BB spacer wrong way around? 😅

New pod looks easy to be hit by knee compare to old version? One of the reason I likes the wireless was that it didn’t stick out as much

@georgeelgar5986 11 месяцев назад

maybe

@Bobby_Chingas 10 месяцев назад

it looks worse than what it really does its much closer to the bars

“You can use the new t-type chain ring on the old eagle” … can someone clarify? What exactly do you mean by “chain ring” and “old eagle”? 12:24

Yes a deep dive in the cross compatibility would be nice!

On another thread I jokingly asked for an SX version.

@LexaBukreev 11 месяцев назад

How do you think, what difference are between old style x-sync sram FRONT chain rings and new T-type? Why should they be not cross-compatible? In old X-sync there also was labels everythere "only x-sync, only sram" - i managed to race XC races for two years with cheap AliExpress front chainrings with my Sram Eagle GX AXS, ~3000km. There were no single problem with it. I think in this case there are also no need to change an existing front chainrings... What do you think?

@georgeelgar5986 11 месяцев назад

as long as it is a single chainring at the front it should be fine, but maybe ask a bikes shop

Is this casette narrow-wide like the XX, XXSL and XO? Dosnt look like it.

@user-gg5be8kd1e 11 месяцев назад

I wonder if the old AXS shifter will pair to the new T-Type derailer?

@Bobby_Chingas 10 месяцев назад

yes, it can

@Montblanc1986 11 месяцев назад

I have some extremely high end new bikes and they do not have UDH the Specialed Epic being the only one. My Enduro and BMC two stroke are both standard. Honestly I’ve not ridden this yet but is this really a game changer? Mechanical XTR takes a ton of abuse and shifts instantly and my old Axs shifts great

@tschick2680 11 месяцев назад

What if you were to snap the chain out on the trail and shorten the chain a link or two how would this effect the shifting as there isn't no adjustments?

@georgeelgar5986 11 месяцев назад

it would be fine, its a normal deraleur just with direct frame mounting and axs
