brilliant... 1. introduce a new, more standardized derailleur hanger to finally eliminate the mess they were before 2. get as many manufacturers to play along as possible 3. now you've got thousands of frames prepared for your new drivetrain all around the world. A derailleur attaching directly to the frame would have been completely impossible before with what feels like every single frame having a different derailleur hanger and frame design around it.

I'm not sure this would work since the new bash guard is mounted on the chainring itself. It's designed to act both as a chainguide and bash guard when you pedal and you can mount one on the other side of the chainring as well.

Yes, but the derailleur is now more expensive than your frame, so it makes sense right? The frame is now the disposable item instead of the hanger. SRAM know the way forward (for maximum profitability)
Looks awesome... But my favorite part of bicycles on our digital world, is how analog they are. I wish this had a cable shift option. I understand why it doesn't, though.
It will. They always start new tech on the high end. Santa Cruz hinted on their Instagram it'll trickle down this summer. I agree with you though... One of the things I love most about MTB is that I could escape the digital world and get off the grid for a few hours. No emails, text messages, smartphones, charges or Bluetooth, or in this case AXS. Plus I ride mostly DH so I value other components more than my drivetrain. I'd rather allocate my resources toward rims, suspension and trips to the bike park!
Couldn't agree more. I don't have a problem with electric shifting, but there is nothing wrong with cables. I don't like that sram/shimano are discontinuing mid to high end mechanical drivetrains. To me the difference is more of a substitute than an advancement, they both have their pros and cons. Its not like going from rim to disc brakes or cabled to hydraulic.
@@topspot4834This system can never have a cable actuating option. The cassette has ”changing lanes” and only the electronic derailleur knows when it can shift. This makes shifting slower but you can hammer it down while shifting.
I bought the GX AXS for my MTB a year ago, hit a log and bent the derailleur cage. SRAM doesn't make the replacement parts I need for that 400$ derailleur. They just sold the inner cage and I needed the outer one too. I felt outraged and vowed never to buy SRAM stuff again. Glad it looks like the next gen makes this part replaceable so I don't lose all faith in them. Also glad they made the shifter more adjustable which is ridiculously not ergonomic on mine.
I hope SRAM read there comments, please, please make a gx cable version, I really want to keep using cable shifting. This looks amazing and had so many benefits. But I don't want battery's on my bike.
It will, and it wouldn't take comments for them to realize it. They have plenty of marketing data at their disposal. New tech almost always starts on the high end, and if it's as good as advertised, it'll trickle down. Santa Cruz said on Instagram it'll be this summer, so it's in the works.
I'm generally pretty hard to win over on new solutions to old things that weren't much of a problem, but that was a really effective advertisement. I read an article on this a few months ago, and wasn't sold.. but I'm certainly going to do my homework on it now.
who ever your marketing department is needs a raise, I can't even ride a bike, and this video was fascinating, and the product, well I didn't know mountain bikes were designed so well they make mars rovers look bad.
Do Sram engineers understand the purpose of a derailleur hanger? A - it protects the Derailleur, B - it protects the frame from getting damaged. With it mounted to the axle the force is now getting applied directly to the frame and to the Derailleur. Surely an integrated derailleur hanger into the design would of been the best approach to still make it easy to set up and to create a more universal hanger with also reducing the need for replacing parts on the Derailleur (having this option is also a good idea still though).
Typically, if you bend the hanger on a modern bike, the derailleur has been bent as well. The idea of the hanger is sound, but the reality is that it rarely saves the derailleur. The frame, now that's another story, and it will be interesting to see how that unfolds.
That's cool and all but in case of an event, I'm pretty sure that the swappable derailleur parts will cost more than proprietary or UHD hangers. What if the part that attaches to the frame or the frame itself take damage because of forces applied to it? In good old days you probably just had a bent or snapped hanger to replace...
If your buying a $1,600 "transmission" I don't think you're gonna care about the cost of replacement parts. And if you do, don't buy AXS. To your point though, the bigger concern is the durability of the frame. I assume SRAM already did it, but I need to see long term testing on the actual frame, cause I don't understand how carbon wouldn't absorb a lot of the impact.
@@topspot4834 Frame will indeed absorb the impact, the hanger is a buffer between frame and delarieur. If i want durability, ignoring the weight( because less materials usually means less durability, just noting) Il stick with Shimano linkglide. Still a good job from SRAM.
@@topspot4834 I think that's a weak argument. Even if you spend 5k or more on a bike that's equipped with Eagle, you don't want to buy a new rear mech for $600 every season. Anyway, we will see how this works out ... if the groupset takes impacts without damage where you would typically bend the hanger and it only breaks in cases you'd smash the frame or derailleur on a conventional setup too, then it's probably not that much of a problem in real life.
Asking honestly, isn’t part of having a derailleur hanger to provide an emergency stress point? Meaning it’ll bend before your frame will? Thus saving your frame? Would this forgo that insurance and if something happens the frame has a greater chance of bending?
I think the UDH, which the transmission mount is based on, essentially mounts to your thru-axle (like it's still retained in the frame but gets more of its strength from the axle being screwed into it) so you'd have to crash hard enough to bend your thru-axle to actually sustain frame damage and at that point I'd imagine you'd just be happy to survive whatever hellish incident your bike just went through.
even older axs rd have like a "safety clip" when you hit somwthing it unclips and move inside and then just shifts back to normal position like 1sekond later
I can't imagine the frame bending at the thru axle. The frame would have to bend and deform the axle with it. That would take an insane amount of force.
I'm no engineer, but I'm not worried about the frame getting damaged having the axle/hub take the hit. If your frame does get damaged, as in broken stays, it probably would have gotten damaged anyways with a normal hanger. I'm more worried about the derailleur itself not withstanding the hit and having to replace that part more often than you should. We will have to see if it is actually more cost effective than just replacing a flimsy hanger. I doubt replacing the derailleur "chassis" is cheaper than a little hanger, so it HAS to last. Time will tell...
I thought the point of having a hanger was that it breaks instead of damaging your frame... So if this indestructible rear mech has an impact, it'll crack the frame?..
The cycling industry is outpricing people who are struggling and can’t casually throw down “down payment on a car/house” type cash. I’m not about that no matter how cool and new the tech is.
Yes, in the expensive mtb segment, which competes with motorcycles and inexpensive cars at prices, there are a lot of "innovations": electronic transmissions, a lot of carbon fiber, incredible types of suspensions, extremely sophisticated forks and shock absorbers. The high end segment has changed a lot over the past 10 years. But what is there in the budget segment? Have any of the innovations in the production process and improvements gone down to cheaper segments? The only thing that comes to mind is the clutch in the cheap Deore rear derailleurs, that's where all the innovations ended. The inexpensive staff was dull 15 years ago, and it is the same now.
Oh cry me a river Pocahontas you can get another part time job and buy this stuff. We all know mommy got you a full suspension, that's why you're pissed
I was looking forward to this until I saw the wireless shifter pods. We wanted smaller, not larger. Also, 1x system can get by with only 2 buttons, one on each side of the handlebar. Reverb AXS could engage with a dual button press.
The only way they could offer adaptive and consistently perfect shifting is with electronic shifting and computer processing. If u wanted the benefits of this new drivetrain but with a cable you would have to have electronic buttons that control a motor inside the shifter to pull the cable just right for consistently perfect shifting. not to mention there would still have to be wireless data transfer from the derailleur to the shifter to tell it how much to pull the cable. So it doesn’t seem to realistic or necessary.
@@mosessdarko3341 Not true. Since now there is now no hanger, and the der is solidly mounted to the frame, consistency is now easier than ever. The gear spacing is known and doesn't change. No issues doing this mechanically.
amazing group SRAM!! small note on what many commenters have pointed out. that is not just the unreleased Epic, but I believe it is the Epic **Evo**! Look at the hollow EVO silhouette behind the EPIC logo on the chainstay @ 4:04 (this is similar to the 2023 evo models). Also, no brain decal on the SID unlike the spy shots of the '24 epic, and that also appears to be a 120mm SID. This means new Evo alongside new Epic, and more impressively, that they've likely squeezed 110mm rear travel out of the in-line "supercal" style rear shock. Supercal only 60mm
@@hcole623 i’ve heard from a dealer it’s 80, but probably not more than 100 and what looks like a 32mm fork. So it’s an outdated design to begin with, with competitors going for 120 front and back with a 35mm fork.
This looks awesome, and I bet it works super well. But all these wireless shifting units, Shimano or whoever's, mean the customer HAS to keep spending money because batteries don't last forever. Well maintained cables do, though.
@@a1white imagine breaking a crank and it breaks the whole frame with it too, thats what im thinking will happen with these mechs if they get hit in the wrong place
I honestly hate hangers that have failed on me and my wife’s and my son’s bikes more than 3 times. Each time it destroys the drivetrain and fun on the train! Why did we have hangers to start with? Glad we are seeing some real innovations from SRAM! And if I have this I no longer need to teach other not to shift under super heavy loads!
Amazing, SRAM. I only was going to mention that your animation video on the Eagle Transmission homepage showing the GX derailleur has a ridonculously low 24 fps. Wwhich looks a little embarrassing because it's so choppy. This can only be an oversight, right? Please, fix
Hello, should be possible to install it also on a not “UDH” bike. Hopefully this will come in the near future, because a lot of mtb still don’t have the option to switch at the moment to this amazing system.
You've failed to convince me. Shifting under load is the only real upgrade but Shimano has had that for a while. I'm not ready to give up my derailleur hanger.
Can't wait to snap my frame instead of my derailleur hanger, that's an incredible feature SRAM! Makes it a lot easier to justify throwing out a bike every year, "sorry honey, SRAM made this sweet transmission that makes my frame snap instead of a $15 aluminum part, I just *have* to get a new bike now!" CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME
utterly amazing how much SRAM is relentless in development. I would think Shimano would be nearly the same as they were 20 years ago if SRAM did not exist.
The scene with Nino casually polishing his medal is by far my favorite bike commercial ever. Well done SRAM!

Man, this is dope! If all things as good as you advertised, this is gonna be my next transmission on new build )
Loved the way they casually showed the new epic in the end
Derailleur hanger alignment is crucial otherwise this rear derailleur won't work properly . High load shifting slows down the motor .
When the motor does slow down , it uses more power shortening the battery life . The motors in these have been known to burn out .
quality control nightmare. if your dropouts aren't perfectly aligned you can't just alright your hanger to the dropout.
About time. This was way long overdue
