SRAM X01 Eagle AXS Rear Derailleur

The derailleur features an intelligent clutch that detects sudden impacts. If you strike an object, the motor gearbox instantly disengages, allowing the derailleur to move freely and absorb the force. Once the impact passes, it automatically resets to its original position without you needing to do anything.

No. Because this is an electronic system, it is only compatible with SRAM eTap or AXS wireless controllers. You will need to pair it with an AXS-compatible shifter to operate the derailleur.

Yes, it is rated IP69K, which is the highest standard for water and dust ingress protection. It is fully sealed against mud, creek crossings, and high-pressure washings, so you don't need to worry about the electronics failing in harsh weather.

The shorter cage is optimized for better ground clearance and chain wrap, but it is still fully compatible with 12-speed cassettes ranging from 10T to 52T. You get the same wide gear range as longer cages, just with a more compact and durable profile.

Cage Lock allows you to lock the derailleur cage in an extended, forward position. This creates slack in the chain, making it significantly easier to remove or install your rear wheel without fighting against the clutch tension.

Using the SRAM AXS app, you can customize button assignments on your shifter, check battery levels, and update firmware. It also allows you to configure 'multishift' settings, which control how many gears the derailleur jumps when you hold down the shift button.
