1x11: Now available from Sram with a budget groupset

Only one chainring: This is what a mountain bike looks like today and Sram is increasingly democratizing the technology. While the first 1x11 groupset was introduced in 2012 as an expensive innovation, Sram recently presented the GX groupset for smaller budgets. With the brand new NX combo, Sram continues to write the 1x11 history for MTB beginners.

XX1, X01, X1, GX - these are the groupsets that Sram already offers to equip bikers of all purchasing power with a 1x11 drivetrain. For the 2017 model year, Sram is extending the technology further down the range and presenting a 1x11 combo aimed at mountain bike beginners, christened NX.

Sram focuses on the fact that the user-friendliness of the 1x11 system should be perfect for the entry-level target group. The parts should be well-suited for cross-country to enduro applications; the NX parts are not the right choice for use on gravity bikes. Ride presents the new parts:
