X0 Eagle Transmission AXS Rear Derailleur

Worth the Hype

Having used several different drivetrains over the last 45 years and can honestly attest that the SRAM Eagle Transmission (XO & XX) are top-notch. I use both on electric mountain bikes and have been very impressed by how smooth they shift and how well they shift under load. I climb a lot of steep hills primarily in the Turbo or Boost mode and the Eagle Transmission definitely shines in this area. I really like the Micro-Adjust feature that takes the place of the B-limit adjuster. You can actually adjust each individual cog on the rear Cassette versus having to find a happy medium on a normal cable style derailleur. I also really like the Pod Shifter.
