X01 DH PRESS RELEASE
Being one of the first professional racers to fully embrace the concept of Enduro, Jérôme Clémentz dominated nearly every prestigious international race since the beginning. With the first ever Enduro World Series title under his belt before the final race of the season has even started, he proved without any doubt, his authority as one of the best all around riders in the world.
Most days we only look forward and dream of what’s next, but some days you come to remember the days of past and all that has been accomplished. Lucky for us—Kyle was part of those past days, being family from the beginning. We started supporting our boy Kyle during the early days of 2001, just after he turned 13. We never needed to look back, until now, realizing anything is possible. That’s why we stand behind a man, once a boy, who showed the world why we should all be watching Lyle.

ALL FOR ONE
Going into the final round of the World Cup finals in Leogang, Austria, all eyes were on Steve Smith. On a roll with his victories in Mt. Saint Anne and Hafjell, and never off the podium this year, Stevie was a mere seventeen points behind the overall leader. With 250 points at stake in the final round, Stevie knew there was only one way to succeed: win. He went on to dominate both the qualifications and finals, securing an iconic World Cup championship title that will have a place in mountain bike racing history forever. Riding components from SRAM, RockShox, Avid, and TRUVATIV— Stevie demonstrated not only his speed and talent, but also proved himself as a truly consistent and clear-headed racer, capable of handling the tremendous pressure of a down to the wire season’s finale.

Performance, Simplicity, Durability, and Lightweight. Engineered in Germany, our 1X™ drivetrain philosophy focuses on optimizing how components work together—crank to chain ring, chain ring teeth to chain, shifter to derailleur, derailleur to cassette and cassette to wheel. SRAM 1X™ drivetrains are complete drivetrains for all types of riding.

SRAM X-SYNC™ 1X chain rings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC™ tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC™ chain rings have been designed with mudclearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC™ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1X™ drivetrain. FRANK SCHMIDT ENGINEERING MANAGER
HARD CHROME ™ The XX1 chain has four times the elongation (wear) resistance to our other chains. This is due to the new finishing process on the inner links and rollers. Push pin strength and ultimate strength are equivalent to our current chains. The XX1 chain lasts longer and is just as strong. VASCO CORREIA TEAM LEAD SRAM.COM

This rear derailleur’s “straight parallelogram” design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force.

Engineered for downhill, the X-SYNC™ narrowwide chain ring delivers complete control. Tall, square teeth, rounded chamfers and a thick-thin tooth geometry combine to engage the chain earlier—and never let it go. With multiple ring options available, you can match your gear range to your terrain, wheel size and riding style. And recesses at the base of the teeth get rid of mud so the chain remains in place no matter what conditions you’re up against.

SRAM X-SYNC ™ A DEVELOPING STORY
More than a decade ago, SRAM’s German engineers decided to go head-to-head with a fundamental frustration of biking—how to keep the chain on the ring. SRAM.COM
SRAM X-SYNC ™ A DEVELOPING STORY XX1 CHAIN
X-SYNC
The engineers now had a single goal in mind: to create the perfect MTB chain ring—a ring that wouldn’t drop the chain in any conditions or under any circumstances. This led to the unprecedented thick-thin tooth shape. To optimized square tooth geometry. To mud recesses that kept the chain clean and moving. All focused on the dynamic bike platform. As SRAM lead engineer Frank Schmidt puts it, “We further developed it until we reached perfect chain control.” The original narrow-wide chain ring is now the perfect MTB chain ring for riders who never compromise.

XX1 CHAINRING
They began by looking at dual-drive solutions concocted for urban riders whose chains would disengage as they pedaled along bumpy European roads. These dual-drive models offered a simplified, focused approach that could make sense away from the city streets, too. The engineers were inspired. Ideas started to fly. Designs followed. Field tests. Frustrations. They learned lessons—for instance, that side-to-side movement (not up-and-down) was the most frequent cause of a disconnected chain.

The MINI BLOCK™ X-DOME™ 7-speed cassette is engineered for the optimized gear steps that downhill riders want. Featuring 10–24 gearing with two-tooth steps, this technology eliminates the need for double/triple shifts to get in the gear you want. And because it’s so compact, it’s also light—the lightest cassette in existence. Compatible with any XD wheel, MINI BLOCK™ X-DOME™ technology integrates flawlessly with your SRAM 1X™ drivetrain. With durable JET™ black finish, the cassette looks as tough as it performs—ride after ride.

The 7-speed X-HORIZON™ rear derailleur makes shifting smooth and reliable no matter where you ride. Engineered to maintain consistent chain gap across all seven gears, X-HORIZON™ eliminates vertical movement for faster shifting, reduced shift force and an end to ghost shifting. ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™ technology and the 12-tooth XSYNC™ pulley wheels hold the chain in place, reducing bounce and chain slap. And CAGE LOCK™ technology makes wheel removal and installation easier than ever. Paired with the X01 DH 7-speed shifter, XHORIZON™ forms the backbone of XACTUATION™ technology—and that means completely smooth shifting action.
