What is the max cog size that is compatible with Eagle
AXS
™
rear derailleurs?
50T. Eagle AXS
™
derailleurs are designed to be used
only with Eagle
™
10-50T cassettes.
What type of clutch mechanism does the Eagle AXS
™
derailleur use? Is it the same as the new SRAM RED
eTap AXS
™
derailleur?
The Eagle AXS
™
derailleur uses a Type-3 Roller Bearing
Clutch with a proven track record form our current
Eagle
™
offerings. It is not the same as the SRAM RED
eTap AXS
™
derailleur Orbit
™
fluid clutch.
What’s the difference between the roller bearing
clutch and overload clutch?
Eagle AXS
™
derailleurs use both our Type-3 roller
bearing clutch and Overload Clutch. Type 3 roller bearing
clutch is used to control cage movement and chain
management. The Overload gearbox clutch protects the
derailleur’s wireless motor in the event of impact.
Why doesn’t Eagle
™
use the new Orbit fluid clutch instead of
the roller bearing clutch?
Our proven Type 3 clutch is utilised in this product because
of its track record of success and dependability. Road rear
derailleurs have a different dynamic than MTB derailleurs and
do not require the exact same chain retention specifics.
What is the Overload Clutch?
The Eagle AXS
™
derailleur is smart enough to protect itself
thanks to its incredibly resilient Overload Clutch. In the event of
an impact, the motor gearbox disengages, giving the derailleur
freedom to move, and instantly returns back to its position for
a seamless experience for the rider. The primary purpose of
the Overload Clutch is to protect the derailleur shift motor, but
it serves to protect your derailleur and derailleur hanger from
damage as a by-product. A very helpful by-product.
