Here’s each of the components in the NX group, that will hit the trails in April:
1x X-Sync Crankset
If the crank looks familiar, that’s because it’s a rebranded GX-1000 crank with a slightly different finish. It is made with 6000-series aluminum arms and a removable spider to allow direct mount compatibility.
The Details:
- Crank Arm Length: 155mm, 165mm, 170mm, 175mm
- BCD: 94 or Direct Mount (OEM-only)
- Chainline: 49, 52, 66.5mm
- BB Compatibility: BB30/PF30-68/73mm, GXP 100mm/ PF GXP 121mm, GXP PF GXP 68/ 73mm
- Chainring Compatibility: 28t, 30t, 32t, 34t, 36t, 38t, 40t
- Weight: 680 – 780g
- MSRP: $116
1×11 X-Horizon Rear Derailleur
Stamped steel is used instead of aluminum on the cage and inner link of the parallelogram.
- 11-speed X-Horizon design
- 12-tooth X-Sync pulley wheels
- Compatible with all SRAM 1x drivetrains
- Steel pulley bearings and cage
- Weight: 322g
- MSRP: $74
11-Speed Trigger Shifter
All SRAM’s other 1×11 shifters have Matchmaker mounts, allowing them to be mounted either to a fixed clamp, or directly to a SRAM brake lever clamp. NX is a fixed clamp. On the upside, a cable port allows tool-free cable swaps.
- X-Actuation 11-speed shifting
- Weight: 142g
- MSRP: $27
- Grip Shift option also available for $33
PC-1110 Chain
SRAM stated that the only difference between this new 1110 chain and the rest of its 11-speed X-Sync offerings is finish quality Excluding the XX1 chain.
- Optimized for X-Sync rings
- 11-speed compatible’
- PowerLock Connector
- Solid pins
- Chrome hardened treatment
- Weight: 232 – 273g
- MSRP: $14
PG-1130 Cassette
The cassette is Shimano driver only, dictating a smallest possible cog of 11 teeth. The largest three gears are attached in one cluster while the remaining 8 are individual cogs. We’d recommend mounting to a steel driver body because cassettes with this many individual cogs tend to gouge alloy bodies.
- Compatible with non-XD (Shimano) driver body
- 11 speed, 11-42t gearing
- Cog sizes: 11t, 13t, 15t, 17t, 19t, 22t, 25t, 28t, 32t, 36t, 42t
- Cogs on cluster: 3
- Weight: 538g
- MSRP: $79
