First Look: 2017 SRAM NX Drivetrain - The Most Affordable SRAM 1X System Yet

View as: Slideshow | One Page
<b>Introducing the 2017 SRAM NX drivetrain.</b>
<b>Just like SRAM's XX1 group, NX allows riders to ditch the front derailleur thanks to a super wide range cassette and some interesting technologies.</b>
<b>Turns out 1x11 gearing isn't just for the pros. The simplicity of the system appeals to many riders.</b>
<b>Thanks to some changes in materials, increased demand, and lower manufacturing costs, the NX group is more affordable than any other 1X SRAM drivetrain.</b>
<b>Many of same technologies XX1 is known for are integrated into NX, like SRAM's industry first X-SYNC tooth profile and Roller Bearing Clutch that help keep the chain in place.</b>
<b>Aside from materials and weight, the only major difference is the cassette, which has an 11-42 tooth spread versus 10-42 on SRAM's other models.</b>
<b>SRAM says the beauty of NX is that it's for everyone. Even groms can get in on the action thanks to short crank length options. A complete 1x11 setup starts at $310.</b>
<b>Whether you're just getting started or a seasoned weekend ripper, NX may work for you. The parts are fully compatible with all SRAM 1x11 drivetrains if you'd like to mix and match.</b>
<b>Durability, you say? SRAM claims it's on par with their other systems.</b>

Description

Got to love that trickle-down effect! SRAM's new NX drivetrain brings the 1x11 technologies and innovations from their widely used and highly acclaimed XX1, X01, X1 and GX drivetrains down to the most affordable price point to date. Listen in as we chat with SRAM Product Manager, Roberts Graudins, about how they were able to make a more cost effective group that still applies to a wide range of riders.
