SRAM Eagle | R&A Cycles

The New Gold Standard

SRAM revolutionized the world of MTB performance with the introduction if it's superb 1x11 drivetrains, starting with XX1. Now they've extracted even more capability from the same drivetrain architecture. SRAM's German-engineered Eagle 1x12 drivetrains take off where 1x11 landed, improving shifting, ergonomics, and reliability all while giving you even greater gear range for the steepest of climbs and the fastest of descents. There's already no going back once you try a 1x drivetrain – now just take the next step, with SRAM Eagle 1x12.

Putting Down the Power

SRAM revised their X-SYNC chainrings in every way for Eagle. The new teeth last much longer, clear mud and debris better, and hold the chain tighter when the ride gets choppy. Eagle's crank arms have also been redesigned to be lighter, stiffer, and stronger overall.

Unmatched Range

SRAM's engineers created the largest production MTB cassette ever, with a staggering 10-50 tooth range to help power you over even the steepest, most technical climbs. Revised spacing fits all twelve gears on a standard XD freehub body.

The Eagle's Wings

The Eagle rear derailleur has a new lighter and stiffer cage, hosting a new 14-tooth lower pulley wheel with X-SYNC teeth for quieter action and excellent chain retention. The derailleur also gets SRAM's new Type 3.0 clutch bearing that's smoother, lighter, and more durable than before.

Smoother in Hand, too.

Eagle's mechanical components aren't the only parts that have improved smoothness. SRAM's upgraded the internals of the shifter to be faster, more precise, and with easier action without giving up that excellent SRAM "click" that so many riders love.
