SRAM have unveiled an updated, 10-speed version of their X5 mountain bike groupset ahead of this week's Eurobike trade show. We'll bring you the full lowdown from the show, but for now here are some pictures and brief details.
Availability is slated for late autumn 2011, and there's no word yet on UK pricing. Compatibility with SRAM's higher-end 10-speed groups means mix-and-matching parts is now a possibility. Check out www.sram.com for more.
