Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Precise shifting with all the features most riders could ask for at a sensible price point.
If you're looking at the SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur then you'll know this is the benchmark in 12 speed rear derailleurs. My bike came stock with a SRAM SX Eagle rear mech which is lowest level. One of the main issues I had which the GX immediately solves is that the SX has no clutch system and is pretty noisy out on the trail. The GX is far quieter and so much smoother and more precise feeling when shifting through the gears. The whole Eagle range is interchangeable but I also upgraded the shifter to GX, again this was to improve the precise shifting and also de-clutter the bars by mounting to the brake lever. For your average mountain bike rider the GX is a perfect combination of weight/features/price point. For the more weight conscious rider you can look at the higher spec that uses more exotic materials but this comes with additional cost and not necessarily improved performance in my opinion. If I had to be critical the main thing would be availability, globally there is a shortage and if you do get to a stage where you need a replacement it could take a little while to get hold of one.

Much better than NX, much cheaper than X01
After a branch between my previous NX derailleur completely destroyed it, it was time for an upgrade. My previous bike also had a 2nd generation GX group so this was the choice for the new derailleur. It shifts much smoother than an NX. Adjustment is a point of interest but works out perfectly. If your derailleur is broken like mine, be sure to check your derailleur pad! It was no longer straight and caused bad shifting on random gears. New one on and all problems were gone. Very pleased with my purchase. Thanks for the fast delivery yesterday. Today I can already hit the single tracks.

Price-quality the best choice if you choose Sram
Going for a ride on Sunday morning and finding that your derailler no longer shifts as desired.... everyone knows that feeling. Coming home and immediately scouring the net in search of a successor. After reading some articles, I opted for the GX version, in its 52T version, which should be a bit sturdier than the 50T version. I quickly compared prices and ended up ordering from Mantel for a very good price. Ordered on Sunday evening and delivered on Monday afternoon! That really makes a man happy :-)
