Technologies

1:1

1:1 Actuation™ is superior by design. Every unit of cable you pull moves the derailleur the same amount. Actuation stays precise and fluid slogging through mud, bouncing off rocks, rutting through roots — wherever you find yourself, whatever conditions you're in. It's dependable. Tolerant. Easiest to set up. Easiest to adjust. And, not coincidentally, the top choice of the top MTB riders. Got it? Good.

Exact Actuation

When we launched our road technology from scratch we reapplied our MTB proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel : derailleur movement) for 10 speed rear shifting. EA helps to simplify/stabilize the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that way.

MatchMaker Compatible

Save weight and clutter on the bar with MatchMaker. This system holds AVID® levers, a number of SRAM triggers and the RockShox PushLoc control—all with one tidy, light clamp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Grassblade from Cracking tool Grommit A fine thing for...ok...maybe light use....I couldn't say. What I can say is that, for MY purposes it's the best thing next to a night out with your mum. I had a right rubbish runaround from the pieces of s... this thing replaced, I was on the verge of ditching the bike! So I took the plunge, thinking this wasn't the end of the world price wise if I couldn't fix my sadness. Boy if this thing was your mum She'd Be Right Mate! Easy to pull and superb at what she does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Banat from Bought as a replacement for older derailleur I bought this as a replacement for an older derailleur. Good quality build and finish sturdy and works exactly the way it should. Works the way you would expect a product from SRAM to work. Would highly recommend this for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stallard from Smooth shifting, does the job Bare in mind that this needs to be fitted with a SRAM shifter, once you do that you're laughing. Smooth shifting and good reliability. This has put up with a good few knockabouts on my MTB now, without issue.

Medium/long cage

Hi, I need to replace a sram s7 on a specialized hardrock 2007 9 speed. what is the best option? Medium or long cage?
Asked by: ruimvs
I can advise that either option should fit, however there are advantages and disadvantages for both long and medium cage derailleurs, if you are between the capacity ranges of the two (often the case on mountain bikes). Longer cage derailleurs will accommodate a wider gear range, and can give a better chain line. Medium cage derailleurs are less susceptible to hitting rocks on the trail. If you can use a medium cage derailleur on your drivetrain, without it needing to contort on the extremes of the cassette (i.e. if it is within its tooth capacity), then it is a normally better option.

my bike is a boardman comp atb. what size cage if i purchase a new sram x5 rear mech.

I am trying to replace my jockey wheels on my sram x5 rear mech but unable to find any, so it looks like a new rear mech, what size cage? thanks john
Asked by: plankhead
The cage size will depend somewhat on your gear set up up; if you are running a 3x9 or 10 on the back with a large ratio, you will need the long cage version.
