Eagle Technology are the smoothest, quietest, longest lasting and most efficient drivetrains SRAM has ever made. The radical new look and feel of X-SYNC 2 Eagle chainrings is a direct result of SRAM drivetrain engineers studying the performance and wear characteristics of thousands of X-SYNC chainrings. The longer, positive-rake tooth shape has been designed to work perfectly with the new Eagle chain to increase chain retention and overall pedaling efficiency, while decreasing friction, noise and wear. Eagle features all-new 1 x components, engineered for even greater durability, simplicity and being lighter than other drivetrain solutions. The new 1x components provide an expanded gear range which is equal to 2x11 setups.
