SRAM XX Eagle AXS Groupset

This groupset requires an XD freehub body to accommodate the 10-52T cassette. If your current wheelset uses a standard HG or Micro Spline freehub, you will need to swap the freehub body before installation.

T-Type refers to SRAM's latest transmission system, which uses a direct-mount derailleur that attaches directly to the frame's thru-axle area rather than a traditional derailleur hanger. This design creates a much stronger, more precise interface that improves shifting performance under heavy pedaling loads.

While the AXS ecosystem is generally cross-compatible, the T-Type components are designed to work as a cohesive system. For the best shifting performance and to ensure the chain and cassette interface correctly, it is highly recommended to use the T-Type derailleur, cassette, and chain together.

The shifting itself is wireless, but the crankset uses the SRAM DUB bottom bracket standard. You will need a DUB-compatible bottom bracket that matches your frame's shell type (e.g., BSA, PressFit) to install the crankset.

The T-Type system is specifically engineered to shift better under load than traditional drivetrains. Because the derailleur is mounted directly to the frame and the cassette ramps are optimized for this specific chain, you can execute gear changes while pedaling hard without the typical hesitation or noise.

Yes, the Pod Ultimate controllers are fully customizable through the SRAM AXS app. You can reassign the button functions to suit your preference, such as swapping which button shifts up or down.
