Sram gets rough and brings a downhill group

Thanks to the "X.0 DH", Sram now also offers downhill shifting components. Although the existing "X.0" is already an all-rounder, Sram has now revised some parts of the groupset for downhillers.

While the X.0 single chain guide, which was developed in cooperation with MRP, was already on display at the Sea Otter Classic, further downhill-specific components are now on show in the form of a rear derailleur and a crankset. The X.0 DH crank is the first carbon downhill crank on the market, which weighs just 750 grams with a crank arm length of 165 millimetres including bottom bracket and a 36 mm chainring. The chainring, spider and pedal thread are made of aluminum, while the crank arm is made of carbon. The new 10-speed rear derailleur has also been designed with a mix of materials to get the maximum out of it for rough sport. Aluminum, carbon, titanium and steel are used. The cage has been redesigned and is made entirely of carbon. The rear derailleur is suitable for cassettes with up to 28 teeth.

Most important key data X.0 DH:

  • 10-speed rear derailleur with short and extra compact cage for 10-speed cassettes with a maximum of 28 teeth
  • Single crank made of carbon with 170 or 165 millimeter crank arm length (weight 750 grams with 165 mm arm length including bottom bracket and 36 chainring)
  • Single chain guide (two capacity sizes: 32-36 and 36-40 teeth)
