SRAM X01 Eagle AXS Schaltwerk

Ja, sie kostet sehr viel Geld und nein, man braucht sie auf keinen Fall, um Spaß auf dem Trail zu haben. Wer jedoch bereit ist, so viel Geld auszugeben, erhält nicht nur eine Schaltung, die sich wesentlich leichter installieren und instand halten lässt, sondern auch in Sachen Performance nochmal eine Schippe obendrauf legt.

All that said, if you have the budget and have been on the fence, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. It truly is a brilliant piece of technology that works incredibly well, and based on my experience (and what you read from the others above), seems overwhelmingly reliable to boot. However, more exciting to me is the fact that AXS is what I would consider a very successful proof of concept. Based on the pricing that SRAM assigned it at launch, I don’t think they were expecting to sell millions of the group. But the fact that it’s specced on the highest-end bike model of many brands shows that they are very serious about moving the concept forward. With that, I expect to see a lot more development put into it and can already envision a slightly more affordable “AXS GX” group that will put the magic in even more riders’ hands.
