RED AXS 12-Speed Rear Derailleur

AXS is SRAM's innovative wireless technology that simplifies the setup and personalization of your bike's components. By eliminating traditional cables, AXS allows for seamless communication between parts like the derailleur and shifters. This results in smoother, more precise shifting, enhancing your overall cycling experience, especially during challenging rides.

X-SYNC is a specialized design for chainrings and pulleys that features uniquely shaped teeth to improve chain engagement and retention. This design increases the efficiency of your bike's drivetrain, allowing for better power transfer from your pedals to the wheels. With X-SYNC, you can expect improved performance, especially during climbs or sprints.

Orbit technology utilizes a fluid damper to manage the movement of the chain in SRAM's rear derailleurs. It helps maintain optimal chain tension, reduces noise, and ensures smooth operation. This means your chain stays secure and minimizes bouncing or skipping, providing a quieter and more enjoyable ride.

A derailleur is a crucial component of your bike's gear system that shifts the chain between different gears on the cassette. It allows you to change gears easily, helping you adjust your pedaling effort based on the terrain. A well-functioning derailleur is essential for efficient cycling, ensuring you can tackle various landscapes with ease.

The drivetrain consists of several key components, including the pedals, crankset, chain, derailleurs, and cassette. This system is responsible for transferring power from your legs to the bike's wheels. A well-maintained drivetrain is vital for smooth gear changes and effective power conversion, directly impacting your cycling performance and enjoyment.

To determine compatibility, check your bike's current components and specifications. AXS technology is designed to work with SRAM's wireless systems, while X-SYNC is compatible with various SRAM drivetrains. If you're unsure, consult with a local bike shop or refer to SRAM's compatibility charts to ensure a perfect fit for your bike.
