SRAM GX DH Rear Derailleur

No, this derailleur is specifically engineered for downhill-specific drivetrains, typically using a 7-speed cassette. It will not index correctly with standard wide-range trail or enduro drivetrains.

Cage Lock allows you to lock the derailleur cage in a forward position, which creates slack in the chain. This makes removing or installing your rear wheel significantly faster and easier, especially when you are in a rush at the trailhead.

Yes, the clutch maintains constant tension on the chain, which prevents it from bouncing excessively against your chainstay. While it won't eliminate noise entirely, it drastically reduces chain slap and improves chain security over rough, technical terrain.

Absolutely. The GX DH is built to withstand the high-impact environment of downhill riding. While it sits at a more accessible price point than the top-tier X01 DH model, it uses robust materials designed to handle the abuse of gravity racing.

No, you must pair this derailleur with a compatible SRAM 7-speed DH shifter. The pull ratio and cable actuation are specific to the DH drivetrain system and will not function properly with standard mountain bike shifters.
