At Escapa, we love being at the forefront of everything—discover the latest from SRAM. The SRAM XX1 Eagle Gripshift Rear Derailleur 12-speed is an essential component of the new 12-speed Eagle groupset . The derailleur, first created by SRAM over 30 years ago, has reached its latest evolution with a new internal Jaws and Speed Metal mechanism that offers greater durability and shifting precision. It also features a carbon fiber cover.
The evolution of the SRAM XX1 groupset is called Eagle. If you look at the groupset’s details, this name definitely makes sense. While riders often had to make compromises with the XX1’s 11-speed cassette—which had a 10–42-tooth range and lacked either the fastest or slowest gear—the 12-speed XX1 Eagle cassette, with its wide 10–50-tooth range, performs like an eagle on all terrains. With the XX1 Eagle, SRAM manages to combine the advantages of 2-speed and 1-speed drivetrains: a 500% gear ratio range—on par with 2-speed groupsets—combined with the ease of use and lightness of a 1-speed drivetrain.
The 12-speed XX1 Eagle derailleurs are technically top-notch, visually stunning, and, in terms of feel, beyond reproach. In addition to the metal indexing mechanism for shifting gears, the triple ball bearing with a total of 120 balls ensures precise shifting. This also results in extremely low friction during shifting and guarantees a long service life for the shifter.
Another practical feature is the integrated lock-on grips, which simply click onto the shifter and also feature an outer locking ring. As a result, the grips are rock-solid on the handlebars. If you want to save a few grams, the Twister can be fitted with any other 100-mm-long grips.
