Sram GX Eagle AXS 12-Speed MTB Derailleur – Long Cage, 52t Capacity, Lunar Finish

The SRAM GX Eagle AXS Rear Derailleur redefines precision and adaptability for mountain bikers tackling diverse terrain challenges. Engineered with advanced Overload Clutch technology, this derailleur delivers flawless shifts under intense conditions—whether you’re grinding up steep climbs or accelerating during high-stakes sprints at XC events. Its smart design automatically adjusts to maintain chain stability even when faced with rough descents or sudden impacts common in enduro racing scenarios.

Designed for versatility, this component supports both expanded-range 10-52t cassettes and standard 10-50t setups, making it ideal for riders who demand wide gear ranges on technical trails or all-mountain adventures. The included AXS software empowers customization through intuitive app controls—fine-tune shift speeds or adjust hysteresis settings to match your riding style—while seamless integration with RockShox suspension components ensures total system synergy for trail bikes requiring precise coordination between drivetrain and suspension movements.

Durability meets performance thanks to its steel cage construction and reinforced pulley bearings built to handle prolonged use without wear-related issues. With a long-cage design optimized for high-capacity chain wrap (42 teeth), this derailleur accommodates larger cogs effortlessly while maintaining smooth transitions between gears during aggressive riding sessions. Compatible exclusively with SRAM eTap AXS shifters via wireless connectivity, it eliminates cable clutter while offering instant feedback-free shifts on every ride—perfect for trail riders prioritizing reliability over mechanical complexity.

Finished in sleek Lunar colorway with signature GX Eagle branding, this derailleur blends rugged functionality into modern trail builds without sacrificing style points. While designed for use across disciplines from trail racing to all-day epics, note that its wireless operation requires an optional battery pack purchased separately from standard models featuring mechanical setups.
