Know before you buy
This shifter uses the T-Type actuation ratio, which is specifically designed for the SRAM Eagle Transmission ecosystem. It is not cross-compatible with standard Eagle mechanical derailleurs.
The updated ergonomics are designed to provide a more natural thumb reach, allowing for quicker and more intuitive gear changes. This adjustment helps maintain a better grip on the bars during technical sections.
The T-Type standard is engineered to provide a more consistent and crisp shifting feel compared to previous mechanical generations. It reduces cable friction and ensures that each shift is precise, even under the load of a high-torque pedal stroke.
The shifter is designed with a sleek, low-profile aesthetic that integrates cleanly with SRAM Stealth brakes. Its compact design helps reduce handlebar clutter and allows for a more organized, modern cockpit layout.
While it uses standard high-quality shift housing, the T-Type system performs best when paired with fresh, high-quality cables to ensure the optimized actuation ratio functions as intended. We recommend a clean installation to maintain the crisp shifting feel.
