FAQ
Q: What does "Zero Loss" technology mean? A: Zero Loss means the cable is engaged instantly the moment you push the lever - there's no slack or dead zone to take up before the shift happens. This eliminates the delay found in traditional shifters, giving you immediate, precise gear changes every time.
Q: Is this shifter for the front or rear derailleur? A: This is a 2-speed front shifter designed to control your front derailleur and shift between your two chainrings. You'll need a separate rear shifter to control your cassette gears.
Q: Will this work with my 10-speed drivetrain? A: Yes! The X5 shifter is designed for SRAM 10-speed systems. However, as a front shifter, it controls the front derailleur (which is typically 2 or 3 speed) and is compatible with 10-speed rear drivetrains.
Q: Can I use this with Shimano components? A: No, SRAM shifters use different cable pull ratios than Shimano and are not compatible. You'll need to use this with a SRAM front derailleur for proper shifting performance.
Q: What does "X-Glide" mean? A: X-Glide is SRAM's shifting technology that ensures smooth, precise gear changes. It's designed to work seamlessly with SRAM derailleurs and chainrings for optimal shifting performance, especially on technical off-road terrain.
