MTB riders debate why buy expensive XX1 or X01 AXS, when GX AXS has equal performance. Ratio's Eagle AXS replacement cage has your answer...
to convert old mechanical derailleurs to the forthcoming SRAM Direct Mount standard. But with a lot of cages designed to upgrade existing derailleurs, they didn’t have a replacement cage for riders already running Eagle AXS derailleurs.
Customers asked, and Ratio delivered. “A lightweight, high-quality replacement derailleur cage for Eagle AXS derailleurs.” And since the 3 SRAM Eagle AXS derailleurs share the same shift motor, electronics, battery, and cage attachment – one cage will fit all 3 as a replacement, or as a significant high-value upgrade for GX.Ratio says their machined alloy Eagle AXS replacement cage with pulleys weighs just 79g, compared to the 144g of the standard GX AXS steel cage. That’s a savings of 65g, not coincidentally the same savings SRAM gets with the X01’s alloy cage.
Looking back at SRAM’s derailleurs, interestingly that weight penalty is pretty much the only tangible performance difference between the three levels of Eagle AXS rear derailleurs, and SRAM has conveniently removed the weight claims from their website. Bikerumor to the rescue though, we wrote thebetween the wireless three, including their real weights. SRAM XX1 AXS at $753 / 831€ weighs the least at 374g with ceramic pulley bearings & titanium bolts.
So swap the Ratio Eagle AXS replacement derailleur cage onto your current GX AXS derailleur and be the same weight as X01 or within 13g of XX1.The Ratio Technologies Eagle AXS replacement derailleur cage is machined in-house by Ratio in the Lake District of the UK. The 7075 cages plates carry a pair of smooth & quiet, CNC-machined Delrin jockey wheel pulleys. They spin on labyrinth-sealed stainless steel Enduro bearings, and all held together with stainless steel bolts.
