SRAM GX DH DRIVETRAIN
Press Release from SRAM
Ride. Rinse. Repeat.
Incorporating the same Championship-winning SRAM 1x™ technologies as our German-engineered, industry-leading X01 DH drivetrain, GX DH delivers dedicated, gravity focused 1x performance that doesn’t break the bank. GX DH is a no-brainer for any rider ready to attack the next DH run. With its main objectives being durability and dependability, GX DH is the clear choice to bring more riders to the mountain, and the one to keep them coming back for more. GX DH — Get Some.
SRAM PG-720 Cassette

This downhill-optimized 7-speed cassette provides gear steps that give each shift more purpose, and its compact design allows more spoke clearance. It’s a full-on, dedicated SRAM 1x™ cassette for gravity that lets you keep some money for a lift ticket. GX DH — Get Some.

TECHNOLOGIES
X-HORIZON™
The X-HORIZON™ rear derailleur’s ‘straight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.
X-SYNC™
SRAM X-SYNC™ 1x chain rings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC™ tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC™ chainrings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC™ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x™ drivetrain.
X-ACTUATION™
Developed specifically for SRAM 1x™, X-ACTUATION™ keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette.
GX should be available at a retailer near you this month.

The MSRP prices are… outrageously reasonable.

Not to worry, we're about to find out what street prices are going to be for the 1×12 Eagle stuff… I guess SRAM likes to mix it up.
