The SRAM Eagle cassettes of 2024/2025
SX: 720g [SRAM PG-1210 Apex 11-50t, stock on Creo 2 Comp]
NX: 615g (105g, 0.23lb lighter
GX: 451g (269g 0.6lb lighter)
X01: 372g (348g, 0.77lb lighter)
Is SRAM Eagle Apex groupset equivalent to GX?
The A.I.Team says… SRAM Apex and GX Eagle AXS groupsets are not directly equivalent, but the Apex groupset utilizes GX Eagle AXS components in its build, particularly the rear derailleur. Apex is a more budget-friendly option, while GX is a mid-range groupset. The Apex groupset leverages the proven technology of GX Eagle AXS, offering a simplified, yet capable, 1x drivetrain experience.
