Congratulations for what I think are some of the best mtb mechanical and tech YouTube videos out there.

Thank you Sram for breaking my wallet again. Just so you know, it's been 2-3 years since I follow your videos and I always search for a review from you before buying any bike parts.

[ThunderStruckMTB]

Advantage Garbaruk!😄 I love this deep dive series even if I'm not a fan of the newest Eagle.

I have been watching your channel for many years, everything is simple, clear and understandable.

Nice review. I recently installed the XO group on a bike. SRAM finally shifts as well as Shimano 12 speed… but at a much greater cost!

[fwmtb]

I'd love to see you try using a T-Type cassette and chain with a non T-Type derailleur, such as previous Sram AXS or Shimano.

[JamesLG]

Great video, Thanks. I have just a little bit of time on my XO Transmission and its been amazing. Only complaint I have is the new pod, I removed that and went back to the old controller with the add-on shifter paddle. With AXS I prefer to use the single shift mode, no 2x or 3x autoshifting. The lack if feedback makes it easy to change more gears than I wanted.

Detailed review - nice job!! Happy with my 12spd XT set up :)

[jrludwig]

Thanks again for the in depth technical review. That answers a lot of questions. These changes address some of the issues I've had with Eagle drivetrains.

[MikeesTexas]

I’m reading hundreds of comments of folks hemming and hawing over this and that and all the micro details that may or may not make this drivetrain a gamechanger. Hands down the absolute gamechanger here is the UDH interface and the new Transmission derailleur. Absolute mic drop. This derailleur CRUSHED everything. Would be cool to see 52-9 though, just sayin’😂

[skiMTB]

Solid explanation of the major differences! Well done!

[derbiwipac]

for information, I'm running the new powermeter XX sl Quarq with my XTR drivetrain (Xtr chain icluded) and It's working perfectly!

[silver_coud]

Even if Sram has all the Bling and Gimick.

I still Love Shimano And Japanese Products.
for Longevity and Reliability

can not wait for durability test and comparison to cues.

[glennmorgan]

Awesome deep dive into those cassettes thank you!!! I would love to see a cost to run comparison for say 10k kms between the old and new t type and a shamano 12speed...If the t type is as durable as sram claims it could actually be the cheapest to run for 10k kms but I doubt it...

[fabianl]

Thanks so much for this video, now i understand why the new XS cassette wont work on my canyon grizl. i was this close to throw everything into the bin

[alexanderivanov]

I tried older 1295 cassette on a T type GX transmission incl. t-type chain and it works ok .. i put 1.5mm spacer behind the cassette to improve chainline a bit, but not needed to work ok as microajust i on 8 position ( without spacer will be around 2-3 ) . my crank is Next 12 speed model, it works with t type chain too . My next experiment will be new 1275 t-type cassette on a XDR freehub body and older Lunar mechanic transmission ( i hope it will fit as XDR sits 1.85mm inwards )

[lozetchells]

Useful info, thank you. I'm a massive fan of the previous gen AXS and I'm keen to try the new one. The massive investment to replace derailleur, cassette, spider and chain means I'll wait until i change bike though. My current setup, GX AXS, is definitely good enough for me, even on a 90nm ebike.

I just hope the last gen cassettes and chains don't become hard to get, maybe time to stock up now

[Opethjunky]

Good to know that you cant use the newer cassettes with older stuff. I feel like someone has made that mistake already.

[tangalarge]

they have thought of it 5 years ago..CNCs today are so advance and accurate ZTTO can make it affordable and high quality
