SRAM updates X01 & GX DH groupsets

SRAM has launched the latest versions of its  X01 DH and GX DH groupsets, delivering quicker shifting, smarter gear steps and more precise chain management. According to SRAM, the X01 DH is purpose-built for gravity athletes, “from World Champions to the local pro.”

DUB^™

SRAM has welcomed DUB to the X01 DH family, with the premiere BB technology sealing better, lasting longer, reducing weight and offering flawless performance.

X01 DH X-SYNC^™ Crankset

Engineered for the most ultimate and aggressive downhill rides, the X01 DH crankset has already proven itself in World Cup and World Championship racing. SRAM X-SYNC 2 1x delivers top chain retention in rough terrain and features DUB technology for strong, stiff, lightweight performance, meanwhile a new abrasion guard prevents rub and keeps the crank arm pristine.

XG-795 MINI BLOCK^™ Cassette

Coupled with the Type-3 ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH, you get impressive chain management; quiet, consistent and long-lasting.

A short or medium cage length fits the chainstay, while it is built high and tight to steer clear of the trail. CAGE LOCK makes wheel changes simple and quick, and can be paired with X01 DH 7-speed shifter for full X-ACTUATION technology.
