As SRAM makes ever-better 1x11 drivetrains, the components to go with them improve, too, and the latest in the line is the new X1 11-Speed Trigger Shifter. It borrows technology from SRAM's top-shelf 1x11 shifters, the XX1 and X01, but sticks it in a durable aluminum package that's more resilient and less expensive than carbon fiber. Like the XX1, the X1 features SRAM's X-Actuation and Zero Loss designs, which enable crisp, precise, and dependable shifting through all our gears. It also sports a cable-pull ratio system, which serves up uniform and accurate derailleur movement without needing hand-cramping force as we shift into bigger gears. SRAM also included a Matchmaker-X-compatible clamp, so we can mount it up with RockShox's XLoc dropper post control to eliminate bar clutter and streamline the cockpit.
