ccs-62657-0-12369700-1455197011.jpg

Technologies:

X-HORIZON
The X-HORIZON rear derailleur’s ‘straight 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
SRAM X-SYNC 1x chain rings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC 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, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC chainrings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain.

X-ACTUATION
Developed specifically for SRAM 1x, X-ACTUATION keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette.

CAGE LOCK
With CAGE LOCK technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation—as well as chain installation—becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

SPEED METAL
Full metal, 11-speed indexing keeps shifting crisp and precise with Grip Shift.

ROLLING THUNDER
Three rows of ball bearings provide zero friction or play—reducing the force needed to shift and promoting long-term performance under all weather conditions with Grip Shift.

JAWS
Once the Grip Shift shifter and grip interlock securely, forged aluminium clamps on either end reinforce the assembly by locking tightly to handlebar.

Local pricing will be available from 12 February 2016 (tomorrow).

For the love of DOG why don't they make 180mm cranksets in 1x ??

I like the look of that crank.

The full NX conversion should cost roughly 6K. Doable for us plebs.

Way better than when 1x 11 first hit the market.

We just need frames and forks to follow suite ..

Looking at it for the 155mm cranks. Tired of pedal strikes

This cassette with the 11 speed thingamabob for the shifter from Rapide and you're sorted!

 (If you already run with Sram)

 

11 Speed on the cheap!

Fantastic. For me, a week end warrior this is the answer because it takes the hassel out of which works with what. And to be honest at my level a top of the range group set will not make me faster. Might make me feel great until I shell out for replacement components.

Who will be the first to sell these locally ? Really impressive pricing

Very heavy and plastic internals. No thanks.

If only they had lighter, more expensive options. Alas...

Well, at $27 the shifter is hardly where you'll be saving a ton (I estimate a R200 - R300 saving, which is probably not worth the hassle vs getting a new, warranteed part and selling your old bit for a hundy).

True.

I wonder if it'll still work with the existing 10sp RD?

I am happy there is a cheap 1x11 sram cassette offering. I prefer the higher end derailer, shifter and crank to a point but I buy the cheapest cassette and chain. In my experience they last just as long. I don't mind the extra 50g odd

I will pick up 11 when 12 comes out  :clap:

 

I will go up from there in odd numbers only.

Lack of matchmaker compatibility sucks.
