Enhanced with X-Horizon shifting technology, the SRAM GX 11 speed rear derailleur eliminates ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. It also features the Cage Lock features, which locks the derailleur out of the way when removing and installing wheels to the process much easier. Technologies: Cage Lock: With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation, as well as chain installation, becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place. Roller Bearing Clutch: Roller Bearing Clutch (RBC) rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability—even through the most punishing terrain. With RBC technology, derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision. X-Actuation: Developed specifically for SRAM 1X, X-Actuation keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire 10 to 42-tooth cassette. X-Horizon: The X-Horizon rear derailleur’s ‘straight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears. X-Sync: SRAM X-Sync 1X chainrings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-Sync tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-Sync chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-Sync rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1X drivetrain.
The derailleur is designed with our Exact Actuation technology for precise, efficient shifting. We have paid special attention to the finer details, like adding a hollow titanium anchor bolt and even refining tooth geometry of the jockey wheel. The result is that the chain runs through the rear Derailleur smoother and quieter than ever before.
The Yaw™ rotating front derailleur cage was just one more elegant solution to a problem that plagued drivetrains for decades. Instead of multiple shifts using trim, with confusing microshifts, the SRAM Force 22 Yaw™ Front Derailleur actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. As a result, shifts feel more direct, more precise, system that works as one with the chain, cransket and chainrings.
The SRAM Force WiFli rear derailleur represents the same design philosophy that has yielded SRAM’s best-in-class products for the mountain bike (MTB) market. It takes advantage of Exact Actuation, an actuation ratio that delivers precise 3mm shifts in every gear along with the widest range of adjustments available, delivering the best 10-speed performance in the sport. Crafted with cutting-edge materials, the SRAM Force WiFli rear derailleur - 10 speed model includes a carbon fibre outer cage and a magnesium inner link. The final result is an impressively lightweight unit that tips the scales at only 190g. With WiFLi, the rear derailleur lengthens its cage and gets a slight variation in geometry to accommodate an 11-32 cassette. The range of gears is wider than the standard triple chainring system and saves well over 250 grams. WiFLi offers a wider gear range and is compatible with cassettes up to 32T. Exact Actuation means precise, even gear changes throughout the shifting range. Technologies: Exact Actuation™: Simplified and stabilised shifting over tight cog spacing found on modern cassettes. By using exact cable tension, the end result is the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that way WiFLi™: WiFLi™ = Wider - Faster - Lighter - SRAM's WiFLi™ Technology is based on the compact 2 x 10 - two front chainrings and 10 gears in the rear - a design inherent in SRAM Apex and Rival. This delivers a wider range of gears than your standard triple, faster shifts through two chainrings and 10 gears, and with significant weight savings. It's an updated technology from the company that continues to innovate the cycling experience
Instead of simply moving back and forth, the derailleur cage actually rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain. We call it Yaw Technology, and it eliminates the need for shifter trim. As a result, shifts feel more direct, more precise, and combined with the new SRAM RED crankset and chainrings, delivers an unmatched performance advantage in front shifting.
By limiting all movement to the horizontal axis, this design is faster, reduces shift force and eliminates ghost shifting. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-Horizon shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with Cage Lock technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever. Cage Lock With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation, as well as chain installation, becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

Flawless shifting means you’ll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain.
The X-Actuation technology eliminates slop whilst the Roller Bearing Clutch technology delivers maximum stability making this great over punishing terrain.
The SRAM X5 rear derailleur uses Exact Actuation for precise and dependable 10-speed performance and uses Direct Route Technology for lighter effort shifting. Technologies: Direct Route: Direct Route Technology doesn't have a middle man. Instead, the cable routes directly to the actuation mechanism. Result? Less friction. Less effort. More oomph. Plus it's impervious to cable housing damage. Nice. Exact Actuation™: Simplified and stabilised shifting over tight cog spacing found on modern cassettes. By using exact cable tension, the end result is the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that way.
X-Glide Imagine being able to shift smoothly at any time, no matter what. We’re talking full-power shifts. Up, down, whatever the trail demands. The benefit of the X-Glide drivetrain is simple, yet, when you think about it, incredibly impactful to the way you ride. Flawless shifting means you’ll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain. Here’s how they did it: TRUVATIV’s crank engineers threw away the old standards and developed a new chainring geometry from the ground up. They precisely paired the different-sized chainrings and redesigned where and how the chain engages with the rings. By aligning the chainring pick-up rivets to the chain pivot pin—rather than the middle of the chain link—you get double the shift opportunities. No more missed shifts, ever. X-Glide puts you in THE RIGHT GEAR, right now.
Featuring a proprietary SRAM actuation ratio, professionally engineered cage design and intuitive adjusters, the new SRAM Apex front derailleur establishes itself as a legitimate high performance product. New SRAM® Apex is the perfect blend of technology and performance, so all riders can challenge their personal limits. SRAM® Apex has double chainrings, which are simpler, lighter, faster, and in every way, just better than a triple. And with a gear range that's wider, making climbing easier and descending faster, why would you ever go back to three?
The X-Actuation technology eliminates slop whilst the Roller Bearing Clutch technology delivers maximum stability making the SRAM GX 10 speed rear derailleur great over punishing terrain. This technology also removes shifting variation and offers you incredible shifting speed and precision.
