SRAM brings Full Mount derailleur to downhill

SRAM continues to expand its range of Full Mount derailleurs, the tech first released with XX SL, XX, and XO Transmission. The latest use is in the new 7-speed XX DH group. Designed for downhill racing, the new group combines a 10-24T cassette with a short cage derailleur. Reinforced cranks (150-165 mm lengths) and chainrings complete the AXS wireless drivetrain. There are two cassettes, each 7-speed with the same gear range. One fits regular XD drivers, while the other is a narrower model to fit a new XD Slim freehub body standard. Like HG Slim (already used in downhill), the slimmer freehub standard gives room for wider spoke bracing angles.
