The birth of the eagle [Video]
In this video, Sram shows the effort that went into developing the new 1x12 Eagle drivetrain. Starting with the idea of the single drivetrain through to the latest expansion stage.
The trend towards single-speed drivetrains is nothing new, but last year Sram took the wind out of the sails of the opponents of single-speed drivetrains: With the wider range of the 12-speed drivetrain (500 per cent), the argument of the reduced range of use of 11-speed drivetrains (420 per cent) became null and void. The fact that the concept with the disc-sized sprocket set works has already been proven. our tests of the Sram Eagle drivetrain have shown.
Sram's engineering expertise goes back to Fichtel & Sachs, which produced ball bearings and hubs. The complete Sram Eagle unit was developed as a whole in Schweinfurt. This allowed all parts to be harmonised and tested.
