S500 Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit W/POD Controller

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ran this on a trail bike that was still on mechanical Eagle shifting, and going wireless with the POD Controller cut down on cable drag through a full season of muddy rides."

Wireless shifting used to mean a full groupset commitment, but SRAM built the S500 Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit to remove that barrier for existing Eagle riders. The kit swaps in the S500 AXS rear derailleur, a wireless unit that eliminates cable drag and mechanical stretch, so shift quality stays consistent whether you're two rides in or two seasons deep.

The AXS POD Controller pairs with the derailleur to give riders full control over shifter placement on the bar, a departure from the fixed position of traditional trigger shifters. Because the kit is built around existing Eagle drivetrains, it drops onto compatible cranksets, cassettes, and chains already on the bike, meaning no cassette, chain, or crankset swap is required to make the jump to AXS.

Included in the box are the battery, USB-C charger, chain gap tool, and an Eagle Powerlock, covering everything needed for setup without hunting down additional parts. For riders looking to modernize a mechanical Eagle build without a full drivetrain replacement, the S500 Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit offers a direct, cost-effective path to wireless shifting.
