Know before you buy
Yes, the GX Eagle AXS Upgrade Kit is designed to be compatible with all existing SRAM Eagle ecosystems. You can keep your current crankset, chain, and cassette while simply swapping out your mechanical derailleur and shifter for the AXS components.
The kit includes the GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur, the AXS controller (shifter), a battery, a battery charger, and a chain gap tool. It provides everything you need to convert your mechanical setup to wireless electronic shifting.
Installation is actually simpler than a mechanical system because there are no shift cables or housing to route. Once the derailleur is mounted and the limit screws are set, you simply pair the controller to the derailleur using the AXS app or the buttons on the components.
A fully charged AXS battery typically lasts for about 20 to 25 hours of riding time. It is easy to monitor the battery level through the AXS app or by checking the LED light on the derailleur.
Yes, it is built with the same robust construction as the rest of the GX Eagle line. It features an Overload Clutch mechanism that allows the derailleur to disengage upon impact, protecting the motor from damage during a crash.
Yes, you can customize the button assignments using the SRAM AXS mobile app. This allows you to personalize your shifting preferences, such as swapping which button shifts up or down, or even controlling a compatible AXS dropper post.
