Product Description
The new SRAM GX 1x11 chainset is available in two versions with the GX 1400 being the top model out of the two, thanks to its hollow aluminium construction which gives it a lightweight of only 680 grams (approx).
The chainrings have been designed with X-SYNC technology and tall square teeth that will engage with the chain more efficiently than the traditional triangle shape. The chainrings also feature mud clearing recesses on the inner chain and rollers so it wont let you down even in the muddiest of conditions.
OCT (Open Core Technology):
To fabricate our Open Core Technology a single mass of premium alloy is pushed, pulled and squeezed into a hollow crank arm. During our exclusive process the magic happens, producing supreme strength while remaining weight-conscious. We may have not been the first to fabricate hollow crank arms, but we are the best by yielding the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio out there. Our OCT cranks are stiffer, stronger, and lightweight beyond any solid forged crankset and when we use our AL-7050-TV to fabricate with OCT the results are impressive.
X-SYNC:
SRAM X-SYNC™ 1X chain rings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC™ tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC™ chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC™ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1X™ drivetrain.
