SRAM\u2019s all-new T-Type Eagle Transmission has landed, with the long-teased direct-mount design removing the need for a derailleur hanger and derailleur adjustment screws.<\/p>\n

The innovative direct-mount design \u2013 described as the \u201cbiggest product introduction in SRAM\u2019s history\u201d \u2013 sees the derailleur clamp the bike\u2019s frame at the rear wheel axle, rather than being attached to a derailleur hanger.<\/p>\n

Removing the need for a hanger is an entirely new way of mounting a derailleur.<\/p>\n

T-Type is a whole new system that includes all parts of a drivetrain<\/a>, where each part has been designed to work together.<\/p>\n

As a result, the new system isn\u2019t compatible with any of the current-generation Eagle drivetrain parts, bar the AXS controller.<\/p>\n

SRAM has also launched updated Stealth brake levers<\/a> designed to match T-Type Eagle Transmission.<\/p>\n
