Deliver The Dream.

SRAM Eagle Transmission drops a seismic shift on what it means to shift a mountain bike. Built around the universal constant of the wheel axle itself, Eagle Transmission is a radically robust, fully integrated, and interdependent wireless transmission that literally changes how we ride. It simplifies, strengthens, and extends lifespan to new limits. It uses no derailleur hanger or adjustment screws and lets you shift flawlessly under maximum power. Welcome to the dream made real.

Enabling Nirvana.

Full Mount / T-Type

Utilizing the widely adopted frame design required for the Universal Derailleur Hanger, the Hangerless Interface allows Eagle Transmission to work around the one universal constant – the center of the rear axle. This opens up the possibility for perfect shifting, eliminates unnecessary parts, and allows all other features to work in perfect relationship to this constant.
210 UDH bike models and counting.

sram_tran_fullmount

Full Mount

Utilizing the larger diameter of the Hangerless Interface, Eagle Transmission mounts to your bike with a super strong, super simple Full Mount design. Full Mount literally clamps around both sides of the frame itself and eliminates the need for a hanger. This super-strong connection eliminates variance a. improper adjustment across frame designs. It also eliminates hanger failures and allows the derailleur to rotate backward in case of an impact.

T-TYPE

Across all Eagle Transmission components, you’ll notice the T-Type designation. If it’s marked T-Type, it’s compatible with all the Eagle Transmission T-Type parts. Keep it T-Type, and the freedom to mix and match remains.

sram_tran_yourmax

Give ‘em your max.

All this sophistication and innovation means nothing if it doesn’t increase durability and longevity. Cassette Map’s precision makes Eagle Transmission cassettes and the all-new Flattop MTB chains our best shifting and our longest wearing.

Prepare. Hang. Tighten.

The entire setup procedure is completed in just three simple steps – with no special tools – and takes about two minutes in total. The setup for Eagle Transmission is unlike any drivetrain that’s come before. Just follow the steps and get out there to ride as you’ve never ridden before.

sram_tran_noadjustmentscrews

Ever dream of never having to adjust your derailleur during setup? It’s here. Eagle Transmission derailleurs have no adjustment screws because they require zero adjustments after setup. All required adjustments now take place during the Eagle Transmission setup procedure – a very clear process that removes all possibility of setting it up wrong.

sram_tran_hangerless

Transcendent Toughness.

Because robustness starts with simplicity, Eagle Transmission has fewer parts and fewer variances for far greater reliability and toughness.

Hangerless Interface.

Hangerless Interface and Full Mount give the Eagle Transmission derailleur a remarkably strong attachment. During prototyping, our engineers would even stand on the derailleur with their full body weight, and it would still shift perfectly. Though we don’t suggest you do this yourself, it’s good to know Eagle Transmission was over-designed for inevitable impacts and crashes. So you can worry less and rip harder.

sram_tran_inline_cage

Inline Cage.

The Eagle Transmission derailleur houses its pulley wheels in what we call our Inline Cage. Oriented to keep the top pulley in perfect alignment with the cassette throughout the entire gear sweep, it also keeps the bottom pulley at an optimum angle with the front chainring. All for superior chain management and better longevity.

sram_tran_magic_wheels

Magic Wheel.

That oversized bottom pulley in the Inline Cage is called the Magic Wheel because its outer ring rotates independently from the inner spoked hub. Should a stick become lodged between the pulley and cage, Magic Wheel takes over, and your chain can continue threading through the derailleur without a damaging jam or bind.

sram_tran_reuse_parts

Rebuild, replace, repeat.

Take a crash or slam into an immovable object with your Eagle Transmission derailleur, and there’s a better chance than ever that the only damage will be cosmetic. Which is why we’ve equipped all Eagle Transmission derailleurs with one or more replaceable Skid Plates.

Realize Your Vision.

Welcome to infinite personalization.

Eagle Transmission AXS Pod Controllers are intuitive, discreet, and programmable. Mount on the left or right to match your vibe. Which button shifts up, which one shifts down, which controls your Reverb dropper? It’s all up to you; just configure your way on the AXS app.

The Infinity Clamp gives you an infinite number of mounting configurations for ultimate freedom. With a flippable design and 360-degree adjustability at both the controller mount-point as well as at the handlebar. It’s thinner, more discreet, works independently of your brake lever, and offers a single bolt for further fine-tuning.

sram_tran_clamp

Improving on the tried and true Matchmaker, the all-new Bridge Clamp gives you a greater range of inboard or outboard adjustability with MatchMaker X functionality. Seamlessly integrate with your existing brake-lever clamp for an elegant way to keep an extremely clean cockpit.
