Why is SRAM XX1 so expensive?
A giant spread of gears. This two-piece cassette is partly why the XX1 setup is so expensive. Once SRAM figure out how to construct this cassette using a cheaper method then expect to see big cassettes on A LOT of bikes. However, as some people point out, this compromises a top-gear for absolute pedal hammering speed.
Which is better SRAM xo1 or XX1?
XX1 is for the weight weenie, cross country racer, or light trail rider. It’s for someone who is looking to shave grams, which comes at the cost of not being quite as durable. SRAM X01 is made to take more of a beating. With more alloy parts, X01 is made for the heavy trail rider or enduro racer.
What does eagle mean in SRAM?

How long does Eagle AXS battery last?
20 hours
The AXS components are waterproof too, allowing you to carry on mistreating your bike with a high-pressure cleaner. The battery simply gets clipped onto the back of the derailleur. Should you ever run out of juice, you can also use the Reverb’s battery. The battery lasts for 20 hours and can be fully charged in 1 hour.
When did the SRAM XX1 Eagle 1×11 come out?

What kind of driver does SRAM XX1 use?

Is the SRAM XX1 Eagle groupset mountain bike damage resistant?
The rubber protected carbon crank tips and the carbon fibre jockey cage have shrugged off accidental rock strikes and bike drops/crashes too, though X01 is designed to be more damage resistant. We were unable to load Disqus.
What’s the price of a SRAM XX1 crank?
The $285 USD XX1 cranks themselves are actually the same carbon arms as used elsewhere in SRAM’s lineup, but use a different aluminum spider with a more compact bolt pattern that allows for smaller diameter rings to be fitted.
