Is GX the same as SLX?

Winner: Shimano SLX M7100 Shimano’s SLX groupset is priced incredibly well – the drivetrain is 30% cheaper than GX Eagle. Both GX Eagle and SLX come in at around 1/3rd of the cost of SRAM and Shimano’s flagship groupsets (that’s XX1 and XTR).

Is SRAM NX or GX better?

The NX groupset is a bit more of a budget-minded groupset, offering a crazy price-to-performance ratio. SRAM’s GX groupset is focused more on higher-end customers who are looking to pay more to save some weight on their bike, and they also offer a bit more performance than the budget-oriented NX groupset.

What is SRAM GX equivalent to in Shimano?

The SRAM GX Eagle groupset is a worthy contender to Shimano’s XT, offering similar performance to 12-speed options. It’s designed to be lightweight, reliable and suitable for all trail types.

Is the SRAM GX good?

Overall, I really liked the revised GX Eagle gearing. While that 52t cog might not see quite as much action as the previous 50t, it’s nice to know it’s there for when it’s really needed. Even after a couple of months, shifting continues to feel smooth and accurate, and it all comes in at a reasonable price.

Which is better SLX or NX?

The SLX drivetrain weight (1932g) is slightly lighter than the NX Eagle (2050g), but heavier than the GX Eagle (1747g). So, of course this would position the SLX as a more attractive option than NX Eagle since it is slightly lighter at only about $35 more.

Can you mix SRAM NX and GX?

Our tip: Combine your SRAM NX Eagle with a GX cassette to get the full 500% and still save money. Those looking to upgrade their 1×11 drivetrain can keep their cranks and simply retrofit the Eagle chainring, as long as the crank is Direct-Mount compatible.

Does SRAM GX work with Shimano cassette?

Mixed chains – Go — Mostly. As long as the speeds match, it theoretically should work. In the real world, we have noticed that Shimano chains on Sram cassettes and chainrings tend to not line up with the teeth on the cogs perfectly. It works, but it’s generally best to match the chain to the cassette and chainring.

What is better XT or XTR?

The modulation in the brakes is vastly improved over the previous on/off generation of Shimano brakes. The XTR versions, however, do control power noticeably better than the XT. SLX offers much of the same tech (12-speed, Hyperglide Plus, four-piston brake caliper), but at an even lower cost than XT.

What is GX Eagle?

Designed in Germany, SRAM GX Eagle groupset is SRAM’s most popular MTB drivetrain and a fixture on scores of complete bikes. It’s been updated for 2021 with a new finish and a more sculpted design, but the headline change is increased range, thanks to a new cassette with a huge, dinner-plate-sized, 52 tooth sprocket.
