In the latest behind the scenes video from SRAM, they bring us all in house for a look at the development of their recently introduced ultra-wide range Eagle 1×12 groupsets. At the heart of the move to the wide Eagle drivetrain was SRAM’s desire to improve on pretty much all aspects of the single ring solutions that they pioneered for mountain bikes. Focusing heavily on the precision German engineering that went into the groupset from their development center in Schweinfurt, Germany, SRAM went about making the group quieter, longer lasting, better shifting, and lighter. They achieved all that by more deeply integrating all aspects of the design from chain plate shaping to chairing and cog teeth profiles, to make a better performing whole…
SRAM’s Schweinfurt development facility is said to be the largest worldwide in the cycling industry, so there’ll likely be plenty more innovative engineering to come out of these workshops.
