I have a Yeti 575 that i just trashed my x9 derailleur on! Now its time to make a decision before tomorrow! XX or XO Rear derailleur? As of right now im running a 1x10 setup with an E13 guide/bash combo with an X7 rear shifter and what used to be an x9 rear derailleur. I think for now im just gonna stick with the X7 shifter(for a few weeks. not long) and go with the XX or XO der. Im not a huge weight weenie and yes i do plan on getting a matching shifter soon. So which one do you guys like better?

XX is typically only used by XC guys, or people looking to shave weight. I'd rock the X0. Chances are you're going to smash your new derailleur some day, and when that day comes, you'll be stoked you didn't splurge for the XX.

I'm a tight-wad and don't care to spend so much money on parts that get destroyed so regularly. I'd keep rockin' an X7 myself.

hit the x0.
works great, less price.
i'd even go x9. It's not like you bike weighs 22lbs. 50grams, who cares.
performance on sram stuff is titts across the board.
