What brand is SRAM derailleur?

[MollyLee]

SRAM is an American company. Function of transmission: The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can fix or step-change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and input shaft, also known as the gearbox. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also having a power take-off mechanism. Most transmission mechanisms use ordinary gear transmission, while some use planetary gear transmission. Ordinary gear transmission mechanisms typically employ sliding gears and synchronizers. Introduction to Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Continuously variable transmission refers to a transmission system that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the range. Through CVT, the optimal match between the transmission system and engine operating conditions can be achieved. Common CVTs include hydro-mechanical CVT and metal belt CVT (VDT-CVT).

SRAM is a U.S.-based bicycle components brand that has specialized in the high-end drivetrain market for over 30 years. I remember when they launched the Grip Shift twist-shifter in the 90s, it completely颠覆 the industry's design philosophy. Their biggest difference from Shimano lies in the DoubleTap technology, which allows both upshifts and downshifts with just a single lever—a feature I heavily rely on when mountain biking off-road. Their product line has now expanded to three major categories: e-bike systems, mountain bike groupsets, and road bike groupsets. Last year, I upgraded my road bike with the Force AXS electronic shifting system, and the precision is a whole level above mechanical systems—no lag even in rainy conditions. The price is admittedly steep, but the performance and weight savings truly live up to the brand's reputation.

As a mountain bike enthusiast, my bike is equipped with the SRAM XX1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain. What makes this brand stand out is its rear derailleur's ability to handle a massive 52-tooth cassette, with almost no chain drop even on steep climbs. Their pioneering 1x drivetrain completely eliminated the front derailleur, and now major brands are following suit with this single-chainring design. A few years ago, I upgraded my son's commuter bike with their entry-level NX series and discovered even their budget products feature precise clutch rear derailleur technology, with near-zero chain slap. What gives me the most peace of mind is their lifetime warranty policy – last year I got a replacement derailleur cage sent directly from their Chicago headquarters, free of charge.

Last year during the Tour de France, I noticed the INEOS team using SRAM RED eTap AXS groupsets. This American brand has now reached parity with Shimano. Their electronic shifting is particularly outstanding, with the entire system weighing under 2000 grams and shift precision reaching millisecond levels. The most unique feature is the AXS App that allows customization of shifting logic—I've modified the shift travel on my road bike to a half-step mode, making climbs more effortless. Although the price is indeed high, the newly released Rival tier has significantly lowered the entry barrier for electronic shifting. The brand insists on manufacturing core components in the USA and Taiwan, unlike other brands that have fully relocated production to China.
