Know before you buy
No, the bottom bracket is not included. You will need to purchase a SRAM DUB-compatible bottom bracket that matches your bike frame's specific shell standard.
Yes, the XX1 Eagle DUB crankset is fully compatible with both 11-speed and 12-speed SRAM Eagle drivetrains.
Boost spacing refers to a 148mm rear axle width. This crankset is designed with a 52mm chainline to ensure proper alignment and shifting performance on frames built with Boost geometry.
Yes, this crankset uses a standard SRAM 3-bolt direct mount interface. You can easily swap the chainring for a different tooth count as your riding needs or terrain preferences change.
The DUB interface uses a 28.99mm spindle diameter, which is designed to be more universal and durable than previous standards. It provides a better seal against the elements and improves overall stiffness-to-weight performance.
Crank arm length is largely a matter of personal preference and leg length. 170mm is a popular choice for mountain biking as it offers a good balance of leverage and ground clearance, helping to reduce pedal strikes on technical terrain.
