SRAM crank it to 52 tooth with new Eagle groupsets

· By Press Office · 0 comments

SRAM today announced a new line-up of Eagle Expansion GX, X01, and XX1 groupsets featuring an increased gear range of 520%.

The notable mechanical changes are to the cassette and derailleur. To achieve the increased range, SRAM has up-sized the largest cog size on their Eagle cassette to 52 tooth from 50 tooth while the derailleur cage architecture has been adapted to accommodate the larger cog.

The refined derailleurs are backwards compatible with the 50 tooth Eagle cassettes. Those already riding Eagle AXS will be happy to hear that the 52T Expansion cassettes are forward compatible with your existing rear derailleur.

There are also some style updates with some new colourways available. Eagle GX now also offers a carbon crankset.

There is also a new unified chain gap tool that replaces all other Eagle chain gap tools across both cassette sizes.
