SRAM announce hangerless Eagle Transmission drivetrains

During a 6-year history of Eagle and 11-years of the dedicated 1x drivetrain, we’ve refined the facets of the system we control. Even with this legacy, we wondered whether a new level of performance was possible, not just for SRAM’s benefit, but to help riders and improve the ride as a whole. So, we rethought the entire interface between frame, wheel, and drivetrain. Eagle Transmission is a first-of-its-kind approach to the mountain bike drivetrain that sets a new bar and new expectation to the whole system. 

Eagle Transmission has been designed and engineered into tangible technology for the world’s most demanding riders. Built around the universal constant of the wheel axle itself, Eagle Transmission is a radically robust, fully integrated and interdependent wireless transmission that literally changes how we ride. It simplifies, strengthens, and extends lifespan to new limits. It uses no derailleur hanger or adjustment screws and lets you shift flawlessly under maximum power. Eagle Transmission drops a seismic shift on what it means to shift a mountain bike.

Derailleurs

XX SL Eagle Transmission Derailleur

The XX Eagle Transmission Derailleur foundationally changes the relationship between cassette and derailleur. Engineered as integrated, interdependent transmission components, the T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface. Its game-changing Full Mount attachment method creates a far stronger connection and grips both sides of the frame. The new transmission derailleurs feature the same intuitive pairing and set-up procedure as our Eagle AXS derailleurs. It features an overload clutch and a tucked-in profile, removing all but what’s needed to win. It accommodates common maintenance and to further its race-day performance, comes with a lower pulley called Magic Wheel that keeps spinning if an object becomes lodged. Additionally, the XX SL Eagle Transmission derailleur features a carbon cage, a replaceable outer link and b-knuckle cover in a sleek black colourway. This is unrivalled shifting performance, light weight and unprecedented strength. The XX SL Eagle Transmission derailleur delivers.
