The SRAM Schaltwerk GX1 1x11 rear derailleur is designed for riders who want the simplicity and reliability of a dedicated 1x drivetrain. Built around SRAM’s proven X-HORIZON and X-ACTUATION concepts, it delivers crisp, consistent shifting across a wide 11-speed cassette, even under load and in rough terrain. Its robust construction is aimed at mountain biking and aggressive trail use, offering a great balance of durability, performance, and value for riders upgrading from entry-level components or building a modern 1x setup.
This derailleur typically features a clutch mechanism to keep the chain under control, reducing chain slap and the risk of dropped chains on bumpy descents.
