Product Information

Full details

This SRAM GX AXS Upgrade Kit is for cyclists looking to transition their existing mechanical Eagle 90 or 70 rear derailleurs to a fully wireless electronic shifting system. The key benefit is achieving a cleaner cockpit and faster, more responsive shifting without a complete drivetrain overhaul. A caveat is that it requires reusing specific components from your existing mechanical derailleur and a UDH frame interface.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the GX AXS Upgrade Kit?

The main advantage is upgrading your existing mechanical Eagle drivetrain to a wireless electronic system, offering faster shifts and a cleaner cockpit without needing to buy a completely new drivetrain.

Do I need to buy a new derailleur?

No, this kit is designed to convert your existing SRAM mechanical Eagle 90 or 70 rear derailleur. You will reuse its cage assembly and mounting hardware.

What is a UDH?

UDH stands for Universal Derailleur Hanger. This kit requires your bicycle frame to be compatible with the UDH standard for proper mounting and alignment.

Is this kit compatible with all SRAM Eagle components?

This kit is specifically designed for converting SRAM Eagle 90 or 70 mechanical rear derailleurs and is compatible with SRAM's T-Type components. It is not a universal upgrade for all Eagle systems.

What components are included in the kit?

The kit typically includes the GX Eagle AXS Transmission Derailleur Body, AXS Pod Controller, AXS Battery & Charger, and an Eagle T-Type PowerLock Chain Link.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?

Basic bike tools will be required, including Allen keys for mounting and assembly. Specific SRAM tools may be recommended for optimal setup, and familiarity with drivetrain installation is helpful.

How long does the AXS battery last?

Battery life varies with usage, but a fully charged AXS battery typically lasts for many hours of riding, often spanning multiple rides before needing a recharge.

Troubleshooting

Derailleur not shifting wirelessly

Ensure the AXS battery is fully charged and correctly installed. Check for pairing issues between the derailleur and the Pod Controller. Consult the SRAM AXS app for status and troubleshooting.

Inconsistent or slow shifting

Verify that the derailleur is properly mounted and aligned with the UDH. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated. Check for any physical obstructions or damage to the derailleur cage.

AXS Pod Controller buttons not responding

Confirm the Pod Controller battery is functional (if applicable, check your specific model's battery type). Re-pair the Pod Controller with the derailleur. Ensure the controller is securely mounted.

Chain dropping or poor chain retention

Check for proper chain length and ensure the correct T-Type chain and PowerLock link are used. Verify that the derailleur is correctly set up and adjusted for your cassette range.

Pros and Cons
