The crank is at the heart of their X-Range translation philosophy. With a 13-tooth difference between the two chainrings and a wide-range cassette, riders have a wider range of gear ratios, have to shift gears less often and can stay longer on the big ring. SRAM's 43/30 chainring combination and the wide chain line improve tire clearance and offer an ideal gear ratio for off-road riding.
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
DUB technology The crankshaft and bottom bracket unit is the heart of the DUB technology. This is where rigidity meets durability. SRAM has gone a step further and made everything even easier and better. It is the system approach through the integration of chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket that means better drive performance.
X Range™ Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders continue to show what road handlebar bikes are capable of. X-Range™ is the translation for the modern way of riding road bikes. SRAM has completely redesigned the road bike gear ratio, for more gear range, a more pleasant and better usable gear stepping and, thanks to AXS™, also smarter shift settings. With X-Range™ you are always in the right gear.
