SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS 170mm Crankset – Lightweight MTB Upgrade
$165.61
Description
The SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS Crankset is engineered for XC riders seeking uncompromising performance on demanding trails. Combining advanced materials and cutting-edge design, this crankset delivers unmatched power transfer and reliability whether you’re racing against clock or pushing through technical terrain at high speeds.
Key Features:
– Carbon-Tuned Construction: Crafted with SRAM’s proprietary carbon lay-up technology, these arms offer extreme stiffness-to-weight ratios—ideal for aggressive pedaling under load while keeping your setup featherlight for explosive climbs.
– DUB Spindle System: Simplifies drivetrain integration by unifying spindle dimensions across sizes, ensuring seamless compatibility with modern Boost hubs (141/148mm) and boosting longevity against rugged conditions.
– X-SYNC 2 Chainring: Engineered specifically for Eagle chains, this tooth profile reduces noise by up to 30% compared to older designs while shedding mud efficiently during muddy descents or cross-country adventures.
Why It Stands Out:
This crankset’s 52mm chainline aligns perfectly with Boost-spaced frames and rear drivetrains, optimizing gear efficiency on steep pitches or high-speed descents. Unlike traditional multi-chainring setups, its single-ring design minimizes maintenance while maximizing chain retention—critical during rapid acceleration or rough descents common in XC racing or trail riding.
Specs at a Glance:
– Chainring Size: 34T
– Crank Length: 170mm
– Spindle Interface: SRAM DUB (9/16″)
– Color: Sleek Gray finish
Comparison Edge:
| Feature | SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS | Competitor Options |
|———————–|————————-|————————–|
| Weight | Lightest XC crankset | Heavier aluminum designs |
| Mud Clearance | Enhanced X-SYNC geometry | Poorer debris resistance |
| Boost Hub Compatibility| Full support (141/148mm)| Limited spacing options |
| Chain Durability | Direct Mount durability | Higher wear rates |
Designed for riders prioritizing precision over rough terrain or speed on climbs, this crankset pairs seamlessly with Eagle AXS drivetrains—ensuring silent shifting and rock-solid performance across both 11-speed and 12-speed systems. Perfect for competitive XC setups or trail bikes demanding efficiency without bulk.
