The first closeup look at the upcoming SRAM Eagle direct-mount rear derailleur and new Eagle SL cassette reveal surprising details.
, but we finally got a closeup look at the new components and snagged plenty of detail photos. These pics reveal new details about the prototype derailleur, cassette, chain, and even new one-piece Quarq power meter chainrings for mountain bike cranks.Starting at the front of the bike, the Canyon team riders have been riding Blackbox chainring with integrated Quarq power meter.
These have the thread-on battery cover, so the battery will be replaceable, but it remains to be seen whether the chainrings will. SRAM’s latest Red group uses a fully integrated, one-piece power meter-and-chainring combo, which requires that you buy an entirely new power meter-and-chainring unit when your chainrings wear out.
On this bike, there’s an additional bolt on the outside, which likely threads into the derailleur in order to capture it so that removing the axle wouldn’t also allow the derailleur to slide off during a wheel change. The big concern about a direct mount derailleur is its durability and the cost of replacing it versus a cheap hanger. Here’s why I’m not concerned:
The pulley cage seems to angle outward slightly, moving the cage and chain outboard, likely to improve wheel and tire clearance. The lower pulley also looks to have a metal body with lower-friction composite teeth. I’d put money on ceramic bearings for XX1, too.and found that the three largest cogs are different than the current 10-52 model.
