The SRAM GX T-Type AXS Upgrade Kit for Eagle 90 / 70 available at Escapa allows you to upgrade a SRAM Eagle 90 or Eagle 70 mechanical drivetrain to the AXS wireless electronic ecosystem without replacing all the rear derailleur components. The kit includes the GX Eagle AXS electronic body, an AXS Pod controller, an AXS battery, and a T-Type PowerLock connector.
To perform the conversion, you reuse the threaded cage and mounting screw from the Eagle 90 or Eagle 70 derailleur already installed on your bike. This way, you can eliminate the mechanical cable and enjoy wireless shifting while retaining part of the original component.
AXS Wireless Electronic Rear Derailleur
The AXS system transmits commands from the controller to the rear derailleur without using shift cables. This setup provides a cleaner ride and avoids the problems of friction, contamination, or wear associated with a mechanical cable.
The electronics also allow you to connect the component to the SRAM AXS ecosystem to pair devices, configure certain functions, and keep the system up to date using compatible SRAM tools.
GX Eagle Transmission Body
The kit includes the electronic body of a GX Eagle AXS Transmission, but does not include the cage or mounting bolt needed to complete the assembly. These parts must be removed from a compatible Eagle 90 or Eagle 70 mechanical derailleur and transferred to the new electronic body.
This approach allows you to reuse components in good condition and simplifies the upgrade from a T-Type mechanical drivetrain.
SRAM AXS Pod Controller
The included AXS Pod Controller allows you to shift gears from the handlebars. Its wireless communication eliminates mechanical wiring and offers modern, customizable control within the AXS ecosystem.
The version sold includes a Pod controller with a Rocker Paddle-style shifter, according to the description provided by the distributor consulted.
SRAM AXS Battery Included
The unit includes a removable SRAM AXS battery to power the rear derailleur. The battery can be easily removed for charging, transported separately, or replaced with another compatible unit.
Eagle T-Type PowerLock included
The kit includes an Eagle T-Type PowerLock connector, which is necessary to properly reconnect the chain after removing it during installation. The PowerLock must be installed following the orientation and procedure specified by SRAM. It is recommended to use appropriate tools for quick-release links and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for reuse.
Compatible Only with Eagle Transmission
This kit is designed for SRAM Eagle T-Type transmissions and requires a compatible Eagle 90 or Eagle 70 mechanical rear derailleur to be already installed. It is not designed to convert conventional Eagle derailleurs such as GX Eagle, NX Eagle, SX Eagle, X01 Eagle, or XX1 Eagle models predating the Transmission platform.
It also requires a frame compatible with the UDH interface, as Eagle Transmission uses a direct-mount system around the rear axle and does not use a conventional derailleur hanger.
Required Compatibility
- SRAM Eagle 90 Transmission or Eagle 70 Transmission mechanical rear derailleur.
- Original threaded cage in good condition.
- Compatible mounting bolt from the mechanical derailleur.
- Frame equipped with a UDH interface.
- Compatible SRAM Eagle Transmission T-Type cassette, chain, and chainring.
- 12-speed drivetrain.
