- . SRAM’s EX1 8 Speed Rear Mech is a World first, as it’s the first rear mech that’s specifically designed for E-MTB’s. It adopts shift technologies from SRAM’s top of the line XX1 and X01 models for the ultimate in quick and accurate shifting and reliable chain retention. It’s also been specifically engineered to cope with the extra torque that is generated as you shift through your E-MTB’s power assisted drivetrain Features: Material:¬†Aluminium Cage Speed:¬†8-Speed Compatibility:¬†SRAM EX1 Max Tooth:¬†48 Pulleys:¬†X-Sync‚Ñ¢ Pull:¬†X-Actuation‚Ñ¢ Technology Highlights:¬†Cage Lock‚Ñ¢, Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢, X-Actuation‚Ñ¢, X-Horizon‚Ñ¢, X-Sync‚Ñ¢ Weight: 289g Technologies: Cage Lock‚Ñ¢: With Cage Lock‚Ñ¢ technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation, as well as chain installation, becomes faster and simpler. Just push the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢: SRAM’s Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢ rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability, even through the most punishing terrain. With Roller Bearing Clutch‚Ñ¢ technology, derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision X-Actuation‚Ñ¢: Developed specifically for SRAM 1x‚Ñ¢, X-Actuation‚Ñ¢ keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette. X-Horizon‚Ñ¢:¬†The X-Horizon‚Ñ¢ rear derailleur’s ‚Äòstraight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears X-Sync‚Ñ¢: SRAM’s X-sync‚Ñ¢ pulleys and chainrings tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, helps manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC‚Ñ¢ chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC‚Ñ¢ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x‚Ñ¢ drivetrainBuy¬†SRAM Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Derailleurs.
Our aim is simple, help you get the very best products for your budget. Whether that’s SRAM EX1 8 Speed Rear Mech or an alternative, we’ll do our best to find you unbiased, genuine customer reviews to help you make your decision. We’ve found 373 different products in the Derailleurs category at Chain Reaction Cycles and we’ve also managed to find 407 products from SRAM (although only 54 of the 407 are in the Derailleurs category).
Our first piece of advice is for you to spend some time really getting to know what it is you’re looking for. An important feature for one person might be totally pointless and irrelevant to you, so get a good idea of what you want and need from your Derailleurs. Note down this list of key features that your product must have, that way when you’re comparing alternatives you have a starting point to decide whether one product meets your needs or not.
Price is the next and probably one of the most important factors of a purchase, so it’s really worthwhile spending a bit of time analysing the price of SRAM EX1 8 Speed Rear Mech and seeing how it stacks up against those offered by different brands or even other alternatives from SRAM. Below we’re going to get into the detail of SRAM EX1 8 Speed Rear Mech to help you see how the prices stack up.

There’s quite a variance in price in this category too with the lowest priced product we found at £2.75 and most expensive was £499.
The next stage we went on to, was to look at the price of products from the brand: SRAM. The average price was £162.54 and we found that the price varies right from as little as £1.5 up to £1724.99 with SRAM products.
And finally we thought it would be good to give you an idea of SRAM products that appear specifically in the Derailleurs category. So you can see that the price of SRAM EX1 8 Speed Rear Mech at £116.95 is great value considering the average price of SRAM Derailleurs is £102.54 and the price varies from £7.59.
