The NX Eagle drivetrain (available from distributor ZyroFisher) is the newest addition to the Eagle 1x ecosystem, and shares technologies with XX1, X01 and GX drivetrains, which makes it compatible within the Eagle ecosystem.
SRAM Eagle drivetrains are designed, engineered and manufactured to work as complete drivetrain systems. All Eagle components are Designed as one, to guarantee Eagle range, durability and performance.
Designed for SRAM’s X-SYNC 2 chainrings, the NX crankset is engineered for complete chain control; each tooth’s profile is precisely engineered to work quietly, efficiently and securely with the Eagle chain’s inner and outer links. DUB technology features a better-engineered bottom bracket and a new spindle design, which together allows for a more uniform approach to bottom bracket fitment, better sealing against contamination and forward and backward compatibility. Now everyone can benefit from a new measure of performance and durability.
The new NX Eagle derailleur features the SRAM 1x-specific X-Horizon design. The larger, 14-tooth X-SYNC lower pulley facilitates 11- to 50- and 10- to 50-tooth cassette capacity, and also adds to NX Eagle’s overall smooth-pedaling feel. The Type-3 Roller Bearing Clutch provides quiet, consistent performance and durability.
The new NX Eagle trigger shifter means on-demand gear selection throughout the entire wide-range Eagle cassette. The range means the rider never has to worry about having the right gear for the terrain.
The NX cassette gives riders every bit of the climbing range that the Eagle ecosystem affords with an upgrade to splined-drive body wheels. The PG-1230 is the only Eagle cassette designed to be durable enough to withstand the increased demands of e-MTB applications and an optimum solution to heavy-duty use.
The basis of every Eagle drivetrain is its chain and the NX Eagle chain is designed and manufactured using SRAM Eagle architecture, so it is fully compatible with every other component in the Eagle ecosystem. The NX Eagle chain features solid pin construction, Eagle PowerLock and efficient shifting.
