SRAM X01 Eagle 1x12sp Boost MTB Groupset -DUB features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Groupsets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of SRAM X01 Eagle 1x12sp Boost MTB Groupset -DUB.

The first thing is material. Looking at what SRAM X01 Eagle 1x12sp Boost MTB Groupset -DUB is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Groupsets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Groupsets. Brands like SRAM are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Groupsets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Now redesigned to meet with the DUB bottom bracket/spindle system.Chainset Features: ¬† Material: Carbon composite, foam core (Arms); Forged and CNC machined Aluminium (Chainring) Bottom Bracket Compatibility: DUB Chainring Mount: Direct Mount Chain: Eagle chain Q-Factor: 168mm Chainline: 52mm Use: MTB Trail, Enduro Weight: 471g (incl. 32 teeth chainring)Shifter:Tucked neatly beneath your handlebars, the SRAM X01 Eagle trigger shifter is the core control centre of the Eagle drivetrain. Its internal workings have been updated to provide a smoother and even more precise response that enhances the trigger feel, instant shifting and durability.Shifter Features: ¬† Material: Aluminium and Carbon Finish: Anodised Aluminium Speed: 12-speed rear Bolts: Stainless Steel Adjustments: Adjustable forged pull lever, MMX adjustment options Hardware: MatchMaker X Compatibility: Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur’sRear Derailleur:This X01 Eagle rear derailleur is equipped with SRAM’s Type 3.0 Roller Bearing Clutch feature, which provides a more consistently quiet drivetrain and even better chain retention than the previous model. Although the X01 may not have the carbon fibre construction of the higher spec XX1 model, it still retains all of SRAM’s top-end technologies.Rear Derailleur Features: ¬† Material: Forged Aluminium Speed: 12 Outer Cage: Forged Aluminium Inner Cage: Forged Aluminium Spring: Titanium Bearings: Stainless Pull: X-Actuation Mount Type: Traditional frame mount Compatibility: Eagle 10-50T only Improved B-Bolt attachment improves RD durability and consistency Eagle pulley technology provides greater efficiency, crisper shifting and quieter operationChainIt might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside the incredible PC-X01 chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. It’s also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain’s ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance.Chain Features: ¬† Speed: 12 Compatibility: Eagle 10-50t cassette only Closing Link: Eagle PowerLock PVD Outer Plate: Nickel Inner Plate: Chrome Plated Pin Treatment: Chrome hardenedCassetteThe SRAM XG-1295 Eagle 12 Speed MTB Cassette is part of their X01 range and features all the same technologies as seen on the top of the line XX1 model, just without the more expensive golden coating. It allows you to enjoy the strength and mud clearing abilities of the X-DOME construction and the consistent shifting performance of X-Glide 2 sprockets at a more wallet friendly price point. It is also fully compatible with existing SRAM XD Driver bodies.Cassette Features: ¬† Gear Ratios: 10-50t Speeds: 12-Speed Recommended Chain: Eagle chain compatible only Cogs: 10-50T: 10,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32,36,42,50T Compatibility: XD driver body compatible Weight: 224gTechnologies: ¬† 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. ¬† 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. ¬† 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 entyre 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. ¬† 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.
