SRAM NX Eagle – Your MTB Upgrade at BIKE24
Why should Eagle’s wide gear range be reserved for top-tier groupsets? That’s what SRAM was thinking when they launched NX Eagle in 2018 under the motto “12 speeds for everyone.” NX Eagle is built for riders who want true trail performance at an affordable price. It’s a perfect upgrade if you’re coming from a 2x10, 2x11, or 1x11 drivetrain. As a full member of the legendary SRAM Eagle family, it makes no compromises in core performance – you get the range and simplicity of a modern SRAM 1x12 setup. From long rides in the hills to flowing local trails, NX Eagle delivers precise, reliable shifting with the toughness to grow with your skills.
Your Advantages at a Glance
SRAM NX Eagle gives you a 1x drivetrain with Eagle’s proven 12-speed technology at a price that makes upgrading easy. You get a low-maintenance setup without a front derailleur, a clean, uncluttered cockpit, and intuitive shifting. And at BIKE24, you’ll find not only the complete groupset in the NX Eagle lineup, but also compatible replacement parts – in case your last ride pushed things a little too far.
- Great value: 1x12 performance with a wide gear range that shifts reliably and lasts – without breaking your budget.
- Easy compatibility: The PG-1230 cassette fits standard HG freehubs, saving you money on wheel upgrades. NX components integrate seamlessly within the Eagle ecosystem for flexible upgrades.
- Durable & reliable: Built from long-lasting steel and approved for e-MTB use, NX Eagle is tough enough for demanding trail rides.
SRAM NX Eagle Series Overview
The SRAM NX Eagle series gives you a complete, perfectly matched 12-speed drivetrain for an affordable entry into the Eagle world. At its core is the robust NX derailleur, guiding the chain precisely across the 11–50T cassette made from solid steel – all without needing a special XD driver body as you do with GX Eagle. Add the reliable trigger shifter and a sturdy aluminum DUB crank, and you’re ready for trail rides all year round. Thanks to its durable materials and wide gear range, NX Eagle is perfectly suited for versatile trail rides and touring in any season. And when combined with the optimized Single Click shifter, it’s also a great fit for demanding e-MTB use.
SRAM NX Eagle Groupset
The SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 groupset gives you a complete drivetrain with a derailleur, cassette, chain, crank, and trigger shifter. You can choose between cranks for Boost or standard rear spacing. For e-MTBs, it’s worth adding the dedicated Single Click shifter to your setup. By limiting each lever actuation to a single gear change, it protects the drivetrain from damage when shifting under motor load.
SRAM NX Eagle Derailleur
The SRAM NX derailleur brings key technologies from SRAM’s higher-end groupsets into an affordable, durable package. With its proven parallelogram design and integrated clutch, it delivers consistently fast, precise shifts – even on rough terrain.
SRAM NX Eagle Components in Detail
The SRAM NX cassette PG-1230 is your affordable starting point in the Eagle family – without having to invest in a costly wheel upgrade. With its smart 12-speed range from 11 to 50 teeth, it delivers a massive 454% gear range. A true game-changer: it fits any standard 8/9/10-speed HG freehub body. Made entirely from stiff, durable steel, the cassette is also perfectly suited for e-MTBs when paired with the Single Click NX shifter. By limiting each lever actuation to a single gear change, it protects the drivetrain from damage under high motor load.

FAQs – SRAM NX Eagle Explained
Do I need to change my HG-compatible wheels? No. That’s one of the biggest advantages! The PG-1230 cassette was specifically designed to fit standard 8/9/10-speed HG freehub bodies. No conversion needed – saving you real money.
What’s the main difference compared to SX & GX Eagle? NX Eagle sits right between SX and GX Eagle in both quality and price. Versus SX Eagle, it uses higher-grade materials (less plastic), includes clutch damping, and is lighter. Compared to GX Eagle, NX uses more steel, making it slightly heavier – but shifting performance is nearly identical.
