Product Information

Full details

The SRAM GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit is designed for riders who already own SRAM Eagle components and want to experience the benefits of wireless electronic shifting without a full groupset purchase. Its key win is providing seamless, precise, and reliable AXS shifting at an accessible price point, though a potential caveat is ensuring full compatibility with existing Eagle cassette and crankset combinations.

FAQs

Do I need a new cassette and crankset to use this kit?

No, the GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit is designed to work with your existing SRAM Eagle 10-50T or 10-52T cassettes and compatible Eagle cranksets. You do not need to replace these components if you already have an Eagle drivetrain.

How long does the derailleur battery last?

The derailleur battery typically provides 20-30 hours of riding time between charges, depending on usage patterns.

How is the AXS controller powered?

The AXS Controller is powered by a standard CR2032 coin cell battery, which usually lasts up to two years.

Is this kit waterproof?

Yes, both the GX Eagle AXS Derailleur and the Eagle AXS Controller are rated IP67K, meaning they are fully protected against dust and water immersion.

Can I customize the buttons on the AXS controller?

Yes, the touch-points on the AXS Controller can be easily customized using the SRAM AXS mobile app to suit your preferences.

What is the Overload Clutch feature?

The Overload Clutch is a safety feature that protects the derailleur from damage in the event of an impact, such as hitting a rock or branch. It allows the derailleur to move slightly to absorb the shock and then return to its position, maintaining shifting performance.

How do I pair the derailleur and controller?

To pair, press and hold the AXS button on the derailleur until the LED flashes. Then, press and hold the AXS button on the controller until its LED flashes. Finally, press the AXS button on the controller again to complete the pairing process.

Troubleshooting

Derailleur not shifting

Ensure the battery is charged and properly seated. Check for obstructions or damage to the derailleur cage. Re-pair the controller and derailleur using the AXS app.

Shifting is imprecise or hesitant

Verify that the derailleur hanger is straight. Re-adjust the B-gap and limit screws according to the SRAM manual. Ensure the chain and cassette are not excessively worn.

Controller not responding

Replace the CR2032 battery in the controller. Ensure the controller is within range of the derailleur. Re-pair the controller and derailleur.

Derailleur makes noise

Check chain lubrication and wear. Ensure limit screws and B-gap are set correctly. Inspect for any debris or damage to the derailleur pulleys.
