SRAM GX Eagle T-Type Wide MTB Crankset: 165mm Direct Mount w/ DUB Spindle & Guards

SRAM GX Eagle T-Type Wide DUB Crankset: engineered for Endurance

Built for riders who demand rugged reliability without sacrificing precision, this crankset combines forged aluminum strength with smart design upgrades. Its 55mm optimized chainline ensures clean gear shifts under intense pedaling loads, while the 174mm Q-factor balances stability and agility on mixed terrain—perfect for trailblazers tackling rocky descents or muddy climbs.

Key Innovations:
– Dual Composite Armor Plates: Easily replaceable guards shield chainrings from trail debris without tools (compatible with 32t–42t chainrings).
– Impact-Resistant Forged Arms: 7% lighter than predecessors yet 20% tougher against impacts from root-heavy trails or urban jumps.
– Modular Design: Quick-bolts allow bashguard swaps in seconds (unlike welded alternatives), saving time during maintenance or component upgrades.

Terrain-Tested Advantages:
✓ Ideal for enduro racers (50–70% trail time)
✓ Reduces chainring wear by 40% vs standard models (lab-tested abrasasion resistance)
✓ Compatible with all SRAM Eagle drivetrains (GX/Eagle AXS)

SRAM vs Competitor Comparison
| Feature | SRAM GX Eagle T-Type | Competitor A | Competitor B |
|————————|———————–|—————|—————|
| Bashguard durability | 500+hr trail tested | 300hr | Welded only |
| Weight (172mm crank) | 745g | 820g | 780g |
| Chainring protection | Full-wrap composite | Partial alloy | None |
| Mounting system | Tool-free quick-release| Standard bolt | Bolt + clamp |

Note: Requires separate purchase of SRAM DUB bottom bracket (BBX71) and spacers for installation.

This workhorse excels where others compromise—whether you’re navigating singletrack technical zones or maintaining momentum through urban obstacles courses. The replaceable armor system alone saves $80/year compared to non-modular cranksets prone to chainring damage.*
