HIGH DIRECT MOUNT FRONT DERAILLEUR COVER

As mountain bikers make the move to SRAM 1x™, they’re ditching their front derailleurs for simpler shifting, lighter weight and a more durable drivetrain. But with high direct mount frames, riders are left with an unnecessary mounting surface. SRAM turns this into a statement with the new SRAM 1x™ Badge—a branded cover with a bold design tying the rider to the SRAM 1x™ revolution.

The SRAM 1x™ Badge is a small, CNC aluminum cover for mountain bikers who decide to eliminate their front derailleur in favor of SRAM 1x™

CARBON CRANK BOOT

SRAM’s cranks are strong and tough, ready for any kind of ride. So it’s inevitable that pedal strikes and debris will chip away at the end of the crank. SRAM’s Carbon Crank Boot is an upgrade that combats the wear and tear that comes with hard riding. The boot protects the crank from surface damage and keeps the rider’s style perfectly in tact.
