Initially offered at the XX SL, XX and X0 spec level, SRAM’s innovative Transmission made waves by removing the traditional hanger in favour of mounting the derailleur directly to the frame. As well as being a lot stronger and easier to setup, it also allows for impressive shift performance under load, an aspect that really shines through on an e-MTB.
SRAM went on to launch the cheaper GX and S1000 AXS Transmissions that brought down the price of entry, though we were still curious as to whether it would ever produce a mechanical version. As it turns out, the engineering team actually started prototyping a cable-operated T-Type derailleur no fewer than eight years ago. The decision was made to bring the electric AXS groupsets to market first (a smart move no doubt), while SRAM quietly worked away behind the scenes to bring its Transmission tech into a fully production-ready mechanical groupset.
With the arrival of the new Eagle 70 and Eagle 90 drivetrains, SRAM now has seven different Transmission options to choose from. It sees the US brand turning up the heat against its Japanese rival, which has largely dominated the mid-tier drivetrain market thanks to its SLX and XT groupsets. If Shimano wasn’t already worried before, then it should be now!
