Trail 270 Hydra

New linkglide drive train works great- as advertised: very smooth shifting. Put it on a specialized turbo tero 5.0 e bike

the XX1 CHAIN IS WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY BECAUSE THEY DO LAST LONGER. AT THE PRICE THUNDER MTN HAD ON IT, IT WAS A NO BRAINER.

Upgraded from a GX setup to this and an XX cassette. I can say I don’t really feel a huge difference overall except the X01 shifter legit feels better on my thumb. That red cage is so cool though. Maybe slightly smoother shifts under pressure but the GX was pretty darn good at that anyway.

Best derailleur for gravel mullet set-up.

Kryptotal Front Tire

Seriously, this is SO much better than the two button front plate that comes with the pods. It's dumb that this just isn't what all pods come with.

These bad boys are nasty.
Potentially to be the next legendary brand.
Performance 💯 !
Specs 💯 !
Overall recommended !

Fit in my tackle box for trailhead repairs....

XX1 Eagle Rear Derailleur

Arrived on time.

Arrived on time.

I have mated an NX eagle Rd and 10-50 cassette with a campy chorus 12 drop bar shifter and it works perfectly. wonderfully. DON'T TELL CAMPY THIS>but you should know.

My bicycle finally does what I want, ass soon as I want it.

As described. Upgraded from MaxxTerra and it seems to be getting grippier as it breaks in.

Works like a charm!
