In this chapter, we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.
X-SYNC ™ 2
X-SYNC ™ 2 EAGLE is the latest evolution of SRAM's X-SYNC ™ technology. The tooth profile of the chainring increases chain tension and efficiency when pedaling. The sprocket life is higher as the X SYNC EAGLE ™ technology reduces friction and contamination.
ZERO LOSS ™
Zero Loss ™ stands for "zero loss". If you press the gear lever to shift up or down, the cable is triggered immediately, causing zero loss of motion. There is no idle time left waiting for the gear to lock into place. The gear will be changed immediately and accurately.
X-HORIZON ™
The parallelogram design of the X-HORIZON ™ control limits movement along the horizontal axis, eliminating so-called "ghost shifting," while reducing shifting force. For faster and more accurate shifting, the large offset of the upper pulley ensures constant chain spacing in each gear.
CAGE LOCK ™
The CAGE LOCK ™ technology in the rear derailleur makes rear wheel removal and installation and chain mounting quicker and easier than ever. Simply push the cage forward (to release the chain tension) and lock.
FLOWLINK ™
The ultraglatten inner links of the chain are completely free of edges. This reduces the friction on the cassette and chainring. The result: low-noise performance and longer component life. The chain design allows for a narrower profile. The chain is so warmer. The riveting is smoother and the tensile strength is higher thanks to the smoother outer straps.
HARD CHROME ™
The SRAM HARD CHROME ™ chain has four times higher wear resistance than other chains. This is due to the processing method for the inner links. The push pin strength and overall strength is increased. The HARD CHROME ™ chain lasts longer and is extremely stable.
ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH ™
ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH ™ switchgear offers maximum propulsion stability - even on grueling and highly demanding terrain. ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH ™ technology puts an end to wobbly rear derailleurs and beating chains - without sacrificing precision.
X-ACTUATION ™
The X-ACTUATION ™ technology, specially developed for the SRAM 1 compartment, ensures precise and constant switching along the entire cassette.
X-GLIDE ™ 2
The X-GLIDE ™ 2 is the next generation X-GLIDE ™ technology. It has been specially optimized for EAGLE ™ two-cylinder cassette - for fast and precise shifting performance in all gears. X-GLIDE ™ technology increases chain tension on the larger sprockets.
