SRAM has launched a silver version of the X0, new x10 gearing options and new chain management devices at Sea Otter Classic in California.
The new chrome and polished X0 Silver is the latest entrant to SRAM’s X0 family, including Avid X0 brakes. The new version will be available in 2X10 and 3X10 options, featuring a look reminiscent of the classic X0 design, SRAM says.
Available for X0, X9 and X7, two new 2X10 gearing options – 22-36 and 24-38 – complete SRAM’s 2X10 offering (already including 28-42 and 26-39). The new iterations are pitched as ideal for 29er riders, alpine riding with steep climbs, long travel All-Mountain/Enduro bikes.
The Truvativ X0 chain guide by MRP is the first of a new line of chain management devices. The X0 guide is a single-ring chain guide, with an upper and lower guide for optimal chain retention and a replaceable skid plate for impact protection. It is available for 36-40 or 32-36 chain ring sizes and with BB, ISCG or ISCG 05 mounts.
SRAM also revealed a white colour option of its Apex, featuring white graphics on the crank arms and a alpine white finish for the brakes, upper part of the rear derailleur, front derailleur and shifters shift paddle.
