Really one of my favorite pieces from my my new drive train. I spent a year using the previous gen GX shifter and this is a significant upgrade. The internal bearing as opposed to busing makes for a much crisper shift! Sometime I feel like this thing knows I want to shift before I do. Very intuitive and ergonomic. Pro tip: If your'e riding in the rain a lot or snow biking, cut a little piece of skate board grip tape out in the shape of the trigger and you will never slip your thumb again.

I often wonder what it would actually take to break some of these. Quick and easy installation, works super well and changes the game. Slick look and a fair price point. SRAM is killing it.

Refined and immensely better than GX. The shift feel is so much better, it makes you wonder why you tried down grading that one time.

I've got this shifter on 3 bikes currently and two previous bikes. The X01 eagle is hard to beat and the performance is fantastic.

so shifty. no issues as of yet. not sure why you would need xx1.

As crisp as a Gala Apple. Works really well with my Eagle drivetrain.

Shift Those Gears

Kit up your X01 eagle right and shift through the 500% range on the 12 speed cassette. So awesome.

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

SRAM has got it figured out. This thing is dialed! The entire Eagle system is a huge game changer. I can't wait to get out on my bike more. If you have any questions about the SRAM Eagle Group or any other gear shoot me an email at jasjones@backcountry.com or give me a call at 801-523-4053

Top Notch Performance from SRAM, vast improvement over 11spd version.

Crisp and Easy Shifting

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I have only been on the SRAM EAgle X01 Eagle drivetrain for a few weeks though I am enamored with the performance to this point in shifting and gear ratio. The shifter plays a huge part of it as it is a brainless setup and tuning with a crisp single shift up or single/double shift down while being easy to place on the bars. The only thing I'll be doing is putting grip tape on the knobs and then letting it do its thing when I need more speed or climb-ability.

EAGLEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I went from a 32 in the front on my 1x11 to a 36 in the front with eagle and the math says I still got an easier granny gear. Nuts!

So beautiful

this shifter is so beautiful, I want to just put it on my shelf to look at. but I won't. because I will be shredding up and down mountains with it.

Eleven Speed Is So Last Year

1x is the way to go for mountain biking. I cannot tell you when the last time I dropped a chain was (I do not run a guide either) When I was running 1x11 I always ran a 28t chainring. I am not a stellar climber and needed something I could slog up the mountain for 2 hours of straight climbing, and I am not a world cup enduro racer, nor do I care if I spin out of gearing on some fire road descent. There were only a handful of trails, or sections of trails where I could have used a taller gearing so that I would not spin out. Enter the Eagle! I run my eagle drivetrain with a 32t chainring, which gives me slightly easier gearing than my previous 28x42 setup, but I have yet to find a section of single track where I could run out of gears. I could not see running a 30t chainring with Eagle unless you are longing for the gear range offered by the old school 3x drivetrains. I love the responsive and consistent shifting that Eagle brings to the table as well. Well done SRAM, looks like you are always at least a step ahead.

The Eagle has landed!

Eagle 12speed is not what I would call a game changer, but more of an evolution from the original 11speed 1x system from SRAM. The broader gear range that includes the 50t ring in the rear allows me to run a larger ring up front and still have a big bailout gear. The X0 trigger shifter offers lightning quick shifts that are crisp and firm.

Great Shifter

I didn't see it necessary to bump up to XX1 just based on the carbon cover. Shifter feels great and works just fine.
