Eleven speeds to rule all the trails. That is the X1 Rear Derailleur’s motto. It packs a massive amount of technology into its compact, lightweight aluminum body. This 11-speed gear changer uses a horizontal parallelogram design that limits all movement to the horizontal axis, reducing the force it takes to shift. The Type 2 clutch is brilliant. This self-lubricating, one-way roller clutch controls your chain tension to eliminate chain slap and give you smooth, consistent shifts over any terrain. For quicker, smoother, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley’s offset design maintains a consistent chain gap across all gears.
