How Eagle has evolved since it was first introduced six years ago

This is a sponsored article, brought to you in association with SRAM.

SRAM’s revolutionary 1x-specific Eagle groupset has grown to encompass everything from the distinctly affordable NX Eagle to the top-tier XX1 since it first debuted six years ago.

Critically, this shared technology means that every component from each groupset is compatible with each other. This makes sourcing replacement parts or gradually upgrading a much more simple proposition.

Watch as Chris from SRAM talks us through the Eagle ecosystem, hints towards something that we’re all expecting to see soon and explains what makes Eagle unique in an increasingly crowded marketplace for 1x drivetrains.

Jack Luke is the digital editor at BikeRadar and has been utterly obsessed with riding and bike tech for his whole life. Jack can primarily be found whizzing about at a moderate pace on his array of road bikes from his home in Bristol, but his greatest passion is for cycle touring, bikepacking and ill-advised gravel-flavoured long-distance hike-a-bike-peppered adventures. Jack is also interested in fixed-gear bikes, tandems and anything else that’s a wee bit weird. With a near-encyclopedic knowledge of cycling tech – ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit – Jack takes pride in seeking out stories that would otherwise go unreported. After years spent working in bike shops, and as a photography technician and tutor, Jack joined BikeRadar in 2016. He’s now responsible for shaping the overall output of BikeRadar, editing, planning and – when he gets the chance – writing content for the site. Jack’s also a regular host on the BikeRadar YouTube channel and BikeRadar Podcast, and has contributed to articles for the Guardian and been a guest on BBC Radio Scotland.
