SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS 12-Speed Rear Derailleur – Long Cage Design, 52t Max Capacity, Black Finish

The SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS 12-Speed Rear Derailleur is engineered for trail riders seeking precision and adaptability in demanding conditions. This cutting-edge derailleur combines motor-driven shifting with customizable performance through the SRAM AXS App, letting you tailor shift profiles to your riding style—whether you’re tackling technical descents or endurance trails. Its compact design includes a shorter cage that adds 10mm of ground clearance while enhancing chain stability on aggressive terrain. The derailleur sits slightly forward and inboard for improved mud clearance and better chain wrap on X-Dome Eagle cassettes (required for compatibility).

Durability meets innovation with the Overload Clutch—a smart mechanism that disengages during impacts to absorb shocks, then snaps back instantly for seamless shifts post-hits. Built to withstand creek crossings and mud baths, it meets IP69K standards for water and dust resistance, ensuring reliability even after high-pressure post-ride cleanings.
