SRAM AXS Compared Simply | GX vs X01 vs XX1 

Which would you run? The more affordable GX, the X01 for a lil' weight savings or the bling blam XX1?

Derailer is #1 thing I break on bike, I want xo1, but I should probably go for gx.

Just bought the GX model for my ebike, wow what a complete difference to riding ! It’s a total no brainer, if you have £ $ € go for it you won’t regret it folks ……..

I have both the GX and the X01 AXS. I can confirm that the X01 AXS is noticeably more noisy and rougher shifting than the GX. The X01 AXS has a shorter cage and more chain wrap around the cassette. This causes more friction on the cassette, resulting in more noise and more resistance shifting. I upgraded from the GX to X01 for the weight advantage. But after the installation and countless hours fine tuning the X01, I realize that X01 is noisier and rougher to shift. I did a little more digging and found that the X01 has more chain wrap and shorter cage, resulting in more friction. It is also more inboard than the GX, meaning that it is very tight in the higher gears, causing it to run a little rougher. If I could do this again, I would get the XX1. The X01 is targeted at enduro riders who don’t care about noise and refinement.

Hi team, nice video, quick snappy and to the point, I've been shopping around here in New Zealand... and so far I got the most info out of your video, Cheers

Just got the GX. So far i am thrilled.

Just got a Kona Remote 160 DL, weight is not a problem, i will defenitly go for the GX when my actual GX and NX shifter wear out!

This guy is great at getting right to the point.

Great comparison.. Thanks for the video only being 4 minute long. Quick and too the point👍

Thanks for the simple, clear video!

The one I want is definitely the XX1, the one I actually need is my current cable X01

Informative and to the point, nice!

I like the way u explain things Sir. keep it up!

Got mine absolutely brilliant 😊

Loving my GX AXS

Have all 3, XX1, X01 and since Monday GX. They work the same, tested the GX on 5 days ride with total of 7500 m of vertical climbing, its fantastic like the other AXS

Definitely eyeballin' that GX set. I gotta wear out what I have first, though. Sick stache, Mike

Owned GX for a year. Bought XX1 today. Weight difference is negligible. The motor sounds different on the upshifts to easy gear. The fit and finish are clearly nicer on the XX1. Hopefully the carbon outer cage will hold up against flying debris. Swapped out the XX1 controller’s silver mounting piece for the GX’s all black. Selling GX soon. Oh yeah, replaced titanium hardware with oil slick Better Bolts. Bike was full GX drivetrain a year ago. Slowly upgraded to full XX1 today. However chainring is Absolute Black. I ride XC.

My GXAXS kit comes in Tuesday, hopefully it will last a good while.

My LBS upgraded my SX derailleur for a GX. The SX was crap. It had maybe 50 miles on it, but it was never right to begin with. I’ve had Walmart bikes that shifted better. The derailleur got caught in the spokes or dropped the chain off both ends of the cassette. It did it 4 times while I was at the bike shop while they were trying to figure it out. There was a lot of slop in the cage when the chain was removed.

Love the video, but had to chuckle about the 100g difference being called the "one difference you will notice right away"

Putting GX on my levo as soon as my cassette shows up!! Can't wait.

im waiting for the Shimano version to come out which will be more affordable and durable

I’ll buy whichever one ever comes in stock. Been trying to buy axs again for 3 months.

I would run XX1. I have XX1 cable setup on my Evil Wreckoning and have had no issues with durability and have no concerns. So if you can afford the extra difference in $$$, just go XX1! Although to be fair the GX is an excellent option for value! And let’s be honest, most of us won’t notice them grams even though we chase it 😂 I want XX1 also because of the aesthetics, and I like carbon, and I like Ti 😉

Hey great video, but can you tell me why the gx axs kits seem to ship with the white bgap tool and the xo1 and up axs kits seem to ship with the blue bgap tool? There seems to be confusion as to which tool to use. I was under the impression that the white tool works on all eagle cassettes regardless of which eagle gear you have (50-52) since you clip it onto the 42t gear, but my LBS says you have to use the blue tool for axs.

3 years ago I was that dude saying I don't need more batteries in my life, since then I had 2 twelve speed bike, XT & TRP Tr12, geez those aren't low end components yet I spent too much time adjusting and changing cables... Im ready 😂🎉

got my XX1 kit with crank, cassette, chain.

so the xx1 axs uses better pulley wheel hardware, bearings, bushings, & pivots. was wonder if could swap these hardware pieces from my xx1 mechanical derailleur to a GX axs? any thoughts?

How much is the weight of the cable version to the non cable? What is lighter of the same group ?

amazing and nice tech.. but for some reasons i think i will stay on mech. all you have to do is use it anytime without worries for low battery or forget to charge before the ride..

Why are the cages around the lower jockey wheel different on them?

XO1 for XC and Trail and GX for ebike and enduro.

Even the GX model will cost me couple of months of my salary but still I'll go with GX

Are the axs derailers lighter than the regular

Nice

GX AXS install next week. If the servo motor is driving the shifting, how would the GX be less snappy? And over what time interval? I don't see it. 🤷‍♂️

Hello!!! Can i use not tubless tiers for a tubless setup???? ???????

This works converting shimano slx 12 speed. Confirmed

Gx and use those 400 bucks for higher budget wheels!

Watching this video bec I got a great deal on an X01 for 400usd new. Taken out from a new bike. Upgrading from GX lunar 10-52

is the sram axs gx model compatible with shimano xt drive train?

after hours of studies and thinking, I will pick the X01 for my XC bike

Is the XX1 really less durable than the X01? I got a good deal on the XX1 and went for it, although I mainly ride enduro ... Should I have gone for the X01?

Does the gx controller work with the x01 derailleur and vice versa?

does the AXS GX shift better than a Cable XO?

Can you use a Shimano cassette with this set?

Do I also need to change the cassette to fit the sram derailleur on can I keep what I currently have? Thanks!

Solid video TY. Question, I have the GX version right now and am considering picking up an XO1 as a BU in case I happen to destroy the GX. On my last outing I banged the derailleur and the part that has the Sram logo "GX" on it seems to be made of plastic and am concerned about durability. Does the XO1 also have a plastic shell or is it made out of metal like the regular analog GX option? If not, I'll just get a BU GX and save the bucks. Thanks!

Love the vid!!!?

My dad made a bike with devel super Lexi with fox 32 and an xx1 rd he joined a triathlon with it and got it correct I don’t know if he intended to make a xc the fact he made just so my mom could use her bike I used her bike before his devel came in

I'm not the kind of rider who can justify paying hundreds to save 80 grams. My GX 1x with a 10-50 cassette and 40t Rival crank is being installed right now, can't wait to try it out.

I just bought the X01.

How does nicer finish quality equate to tighter tolerances?

I would run gx more affordable and don’t see a lot of problems

tighter tolerances? Where is that written :S?

what about the tuneability in the app?, are they all the same?

No I´m not a Dentist, but I go with XX1. Because its so much lighter to spend the money to save 100grams at the rear derailleur, then saving 100grams on my body 😂

Anybody know if these are hackable for 11 or 10 speed drivetrains?

Any hacks to use this on 11 speed yet?

XX1

I wouldn't run it. I actually just ordered a full xt 11-speed drivetrain, because it's cheaper and lighter than my old eagle. Don't really need more gears tbh

Oof. I was liking the sounds of the X01, but not at that price point! Heck, not even at half that price point! It would have to be under $300 for me to even be remotely interested.

The XX1 mech is a tank.

xx1🎉🎉🎉

Meanwhile my derailleur is bent, as well as hanger and my bike shifts like garbage

Can I install this on my rigid single speed

Shimano Deore shifts better than the most expensive SRAM drivetrain.

Iam waiting for sx axs

GX is good enough.

GX

wireless is not needed for 1x drivetrains... its easier to set up, so what, how often do you change mechs

Perhaps the prices will drop in future even further. Personally don't see the upgrade worth for the cost.

for aggressive mtb/enduro, only M7000 SLX/M8000 XT. I've removed SRAM 12s from 2 of my bikes, in favour of Shimano 11s - way smaller, durable, without stupid price and I don't hit rocks or stumps on my rides anymore.

Is there a weight savings or penalty from going xx1 cable shifting to XX1 AXS ?

Wireless is overrated. The tactile feel of a cable, not ever needing to charge something and saving a ton of cash makes mechanical make more sense.

Доброго времени суток. Пришлите мне в Россию такой как на видео очень нужен, у нас не купить

Yay, more cool stuff you can't buy for your bike.

I don't trust wireless bike shifters. Maybe in my next life I will try this but cool review video nonetheless

I will run NONE of those.

either sell a kidney or keep xtr  either sell a kidney or keep xtr  either sell a kidney or keep xtr
