SRAM GX Eagle 12sp DUB BOOST Groupset Review

• SRAM GX Eagle 12sp DUB BOOST GroupsetThe GX Eagle 12sp DUB Boost Groupset offers you the same gearing range and technologies as seen on SRAM’s XX1 and X01 Eagle DUB models, but at a price that puts it within the reach of the masses! It’s designed to help you realize your bike’s true potential and has been designed, tested and proven to deliver lightweight, durable and reliable performance on all trail types. SRAM DUB and Boost ReadyThe chainset adopts SRAM’s revised and updated ‚ÄúDUB‚Äù bottom bracket system, which provides improved integration between the crank, spindle and bottom bracket. This particular groupset is also specifically designed for ‚ÄúBoost‚Äù Type frames so the chainset has a wider chainline, ensuring clearance with these frame’s wider rear ends.Features:Chainset:The SRAM GX Eagle DUB Boost Crankset is designed for tackling any terrain you may encounter when riding a mountain bike. It has been fine tuned to deliver consistent performance every time you are out on the bike. GX Eagle DUB also provides outstanding power transfer and durability due to the highly advanced DUB bottom bracket system. Plus with X-Sync 2 chainring with its carefully engineered tooth profile, you’ll enjoy exceptional chain control and pedalling performance.Chainset Features: ¬†Material:¬†Aluminium (chainring), 7000 series Aluminium (crank arm) ¬†Bottom Bracket Interface:¬†DUB ¬†Chainline:¬†52mm ¬†Bolts:¬†Direct mount ¬†Recommended Chain:¬†SRAM Eagle ¬†Compatibility:¬†All Eagle drivetrainsShifter:The SRAM GX Eagle trigger shifter is the control centre of the GX Eagle drivetrain. Every gear, up or down the cassette can be reached via the movement of your right thumb. As the Eagle 12-speed drivetrain uses X-Actuation and Zero Loss, shifting in any scenario is smooth, crisp, and effortless.Shifter Features: ¬†Material:¬†Forged Aluminium (trigger) ¬†Compatibility:¬†All Eagle drivetrains ¬†Weight:¬†112gRear Derailleur:The SRAM GX Eagle 12-Speed Rear Derailleur benefits from SRAM’s redesigned Type 3.0 Roller Bearing Clutch. It has a smooth shifting curve and provides precise, consistent and quiet drivetrain performance, thanks to trickle down technology from higher end Eagle drivetrain models. X-Actuation and X-Horizon technologies ensure ghost shifting and random jumps between the cassette cogs are a thing of the past.Rear Derailleur Features: ¬†Material:¬†Aluminium (cage), Steel (spring, pulley), Stainless Steel (hardware) ¬†Max Tooth:¬†50T ¬†Compatibility:¬†All Eagle drivetrains ¬†Weight:¬†290gChainThe SRAM GX Eagle 12-Speed Chain is designed to pair perfectly with SRAM Eagle drivetrains. It features a solid pin construction to increase longevity and an Eagle PowerLock connection to make drivetrain servicing easy. For smooth and efficient shifting in any weather condition, the outer plates are nickel coated, which increases corrosion resistance and durability.Chain Features: ¬†Material:¬†Nickel ¬†Rivet Type:¬†Solid pin ¬†Pin Treatment:¬†Chrome ¬†Compatibility:¬†All Eagle drivetrains ¬†Weight:¬†258g (114 links)CassetteThe SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain is designed to function anywhere and SRAM GX Eagle XG-1275 wide range cassette will provide you with the correct gear ratio no matter what your riding situation may be. Should you find yourself climbing the steepest technical mountain single-track or racing down through flowing forest trails, you can be sure that this cassette will meet your performance requirements.Cassette Features: ¬†Material:¬†Stamped Steel ¬†Recommended Chain:¬†Eagle chain only ¬†Compatibility:¬†All Eagle drivetrains ¬†Tooth Range: 10-50T ¬†Weight:¬†450gTechnologies: ¬†DUB Technology: The relationship between bottom bracket spindle and bearing is the core of DUB technology. It’s where stiffness meets durability. SRAM took it a step beyond conventional thinking and made everything simpler, by better integrating the relationship between chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket. It’s this clear system approach that equals better drivetrain performance. ¬† ¬†X-Sync 2:¬†X-Sync 2 Eagle is the next evolution of SRAM X-Sync technology. The aggressive tooth design provides better chain retention for a smoother, more efficient pedal feel. With a focus on long wear-life, the X-Sync Eagle design reduces friction and the accumulation of mud, grit and grime. ¬†Zero Loss:¬†The gear cable is engaged instantly with zero loss of movement when you press a shift trigger, every gear change is instant and precise. ¬†Matchmaker X Integrated:¬†You can put everything from your XLoc suspension lockout, your SRAM shifters and brake levers as well as your Reverb XLoc remote, all on two clamps. It’s the ideal way to put everything within easy reach and tidies up your bike’s cockpit. ¬†Cage Lock: With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation, as well as chain installation, becomes faster and simpler. Just push the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place ¬†Roller Bearing Clutch: The Roller Bearing Clutch delivers maximum drivetrain stability even through the most punishing terrain. This stability benefits the drivetrain dramatically, as derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision ¬†X-Actuation: Developed specifically for SRAM 1x drivetrains, X-Actuation keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette. This makes gears easy to index and provides exceptional performance. ¬†X-Horizon:¬†The X-Horizon ‘straight parallelogram’ design limits all movement on the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. The large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears and guarantees faster and more exact shifting. ¬†Flow Link:¬†Ultra-smooth chain inner-plates are completely devoid of square edges, resulting in a chain that engages the cassette and chainring with far less friction, for quieter performance and better wear life. The design allows a narrower overall profile and a flatter outer-plate that can withstand greater shifting angles. This means more consistent chain riveting and enhanced overall strength is achieved. ¬†PowerLock:¬†SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free and consistent way to connect mountain bike chains. While PowerLock does not require special tools for installation, the especially tight tolerances of 10, 11 and 12-Speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only. ¬†Full Pin:¬†Full Pin technology uses eleven lightweight, stamped steel cogs held together with 123 high-strength stainless steel pins. This creates a cassette that’s extremely light, durable and equipped with SRAM’s super wide 10-42 gear range that’s a perfect fit for any ride. The open design is similar to the SRAM X-DOME cassette and aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life. ¬†X-Glide 2:¬†This optimised cassette technology, which has been custom designed for the Eagle drivetrain is the next generation of X-Glide shifting. It provides quick, precise, power-on shifting performance throughout the gear range, and increases chain retention on larger cogs.Buy¬†SRAM Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals.
