SRAM GX Eagle AXS | Meet the Range 

😁👍

he's actually the bike park supervisor in whistler

if you ever go to whistler, there is a good chance you'll see him whipping around when its quietest. hes mad on a bike

It was a stunt double. If you notice the camera cuts and lights dim so a body lookalike can ride it.

@@lazer1235 no it wasn't, hes a professional mountain biker... why would they get a stunt double...

Stereotype much ?

Yeah, I think he is!

He is

@@jakeplummer1088 are you sure? But yeah I wouldn't doubt it

@Andrew Smiley yeah you can tell by his moustache

Ditto. Have it on my XC and enduro rigs. Awesome upgrade.

I know right?

The Stealth Axs would be good name

Da baby

I would like to see that (and buy it)!

Damn thats a good idea. I never even thought of that 👍🏼

You need a SRAM Eagle eye to see it...........

now, ordered today!

Buy it from someone in US and just have them ship it!

Nice. 😎

You would need to get a compatible 12 speed cassette.

most scram clutches are not that good inferior design id stick with what you got

yes

there was one youtuber that actually bent his hanger and the still worked

@@davidwilliams3397 Thanks! Will try to find it.

@@MaglorMusic wouldn't recommend reliability needs to be tested first and a bent hangar will always screw up the shifting.

Might end up beyond the 52t cog and in to the spokes ! $$$$$

Yes, all AXS enabled components can communicate with other AXS enabled components, so you can build the ultimate AXS mullet bike!

Lmao why are you asking SRAM

@@kaj_5923 lol

in like 5 years when we don't even care anymore

Yes, I read it's compatible with NX Eagle components. You can check the BikeRadar blog.

This is what i wanted to know, ive already ordered it so it better be compatible.

Compatible with all Eagle components just like all Eagle components always are!

@@RobbieKhan yh I was just concerned as it stated being compatible with 10-50 and 10-52 cassettes, the NX cassette is 11-50. I’ve been informed that it’s not an issue and will work perfectly

@@Shadowghost81 Fair one, I have the NX too and will be getting the GX AXS upgrade kit. Have found it on bike-discount for £458 and in stock so will order soon!

No it is still more expensive but it does require less maintenance and having had a dropper post it is really good.

@@davidwilliams3397 I was talking about cost of manufacturing the groupset. Sram charges more but in reality it's cheaper than a mechanical groupset. The axs now that its developed has nothing inside, only a board and signal transmitters. On the other hand the mechanical one has a lot of parts that have to be put together, etc. So they might be charge more for the electric version but for them it's cheaper and so their profit margin is stupidily high. Again have nothing on it, this is just my suspicion because sram always worked like this, make it cheap and charge high. Of course they are what the sport needed, as like it or not they brought many new things.

@@nelsonsilva6842 That is false the AXS has the same componentry as a mechanical plus the motors sensors and transmit/receivers/ it does not have cables that is all. The simple argument is if the electronics is cheaper than the cable and it is not simple and plain but will you pay more for the convenience. Is their profit margin stupidly high I would guess so but I would also say that it is stupidly high for the cable actuated GX system too unless someone produces something better then they will charge what they can get away with that is capitalism for you.

@@davidwilliams3397 well you sound like all that is ok. It might be true but boards, transmitters, motors and all that surely will not be proprietary things. I might be wrong but those might be already in the market for other uses, which means their effort and money expenses are low. Cable shifters on the other hand are all proprietary things. Anyway that is why microshift is selling better stuff a lot, lot cheaper and that is why I buy shamanic stuff for their price and reliability.

@@nelsonsilva6842 I am an engineer that design the sort of chips that goes into these things so actually you are wrong most of these thing are bespoke designs. For example the chps and the motors will be manufactured specifically for SRAM and they will have specifications for waterproofing and the like. Then there is the software/firmware that needs to be written and tested. Just simple things like encryption are complex in themselves. So actually the electronics and software is expensive. The reason that microshift is cheaper is because the technology is old they have improved the manufacturing processes over time and thus you have little in terms of innovation left. As I said SRAM des not sell it stuff cheap because simply put it need not do so it is capitalism as I said. But I found their stuff to be hard wearing and innovative. If you remember they majored in X1 drive chains before anyone else, ther wireless system is just well ahead of shimanos. Is Shmano cheaper? yes it is cheaper is it better? well I am not sure it is. That said Shimano seems like it is concentrating on electric powered bikes it has put a lot of effort in electric motors and the like that is where they have pushed their innovation. do not underestimate the cost of putting electronics in stuff. it is definitely worth taking you time to look at what it takes to make stuff cheaper too. I expect the FX to be GX eagle AXS to come down in price as more are bought. I am not sure why you would buy X01 AXS unless you are a weight weenie and then if you have the money I would go XX1. Now could it be cheaper I am sure that lots of things can be cheaper but it is what it is and no one is forcing any customer to buy it. As I said it makes sense for me as I have 2 bikes and I swap my dropper post between them it might not make sense for you.

ik

never experience that, have you had one?

yeah i don't use sram because of reliability

I ride twice a day, for at least 15 miles and at least 250 shifts. I charge my battery every two weeks, and usually when it turns yellow. So being a baby. If you can't afford the tech, try another sport. No shame.

@@rocketssss6 lol know one asked or cares how much you ride darling. Ride and use whatever electric device gets you off hun!

Id guess another two years time Shimano seems to have given up on wireless stuff it seems

you will most probably bend the hanger before screwing up the mech. I think Vital MTB did the mallet test and found that out

hit the cage see how it lasts

@@ridewest57 I think the motor disengages and whole thing moves. the cage is the weak point though but most people I spoke to have had no problems. and AXS has ben out a year and has been run by lots of professionals so you are really good or really bad I suspect crashes are going to be less spectacular @N Jg

idk
