Description
The SRAM SX Eagle Crankset brings professional-grade performance within reach for budget-conscious mountain bikers seeking reliable power transfer and smooth shifting without breaking the bank. Engineered to match the standards of SRAM’s high-end Eagle systems, this entry-level component delivers exceptional chain retention in even the most rugged terrain—ideal for trail riding, enduro racing, or all-day backcountry adventures where stability matters most. At its core is a 32-tooth direct mount X-SYNC 2 steel chainring designed to grip your chain firmly while minimizing friction and wear, ensuring consistent traction on technical descents or steep climbs.
Crafted from lightweight aluminum alloy for durability and low rotational mass, these cranks pair seamlessly with both 11- and 12-speed SRAM Eagle drivetrains, making them a versatile upgrade option for existing setups or new builds using MTB hubs with 135mm or 142mm spacing (e.g., modern trail or all-mountain bikes). The sleek black finish not only complements any build aesthetic but also resists corrosion from mud and moisture common in off-road environments. With a DUB spindle interface and a standard 9/16″ pedal spindle size, installation is straightforward—though you’ll need to source your preferred DUB bottom bracket separately (a quick note for first-time builders!).
Why Choose SRAM SX Eagle?
Unlike many entry-level cranksets that compromise on reliability, SX Eagle inherits proven technology from SRAM’s top-tier models while staying wallet-friendly. Its direct-mount design reduces maintenance compared to traditional bolt-on rings, and the single-chainring setup simplifies shifts on cross-country loops or gravity-focused trails alike.
