SRAM X.0 Rear 10-Speed Derailleur
Product DescriptionWith a potent mix of high-grade materials, including a forged aluminum body, titanium spring, and reinforced carbon composite pulley cages, the Sram X0 is a pro-ready, 10-speed rear derailleur that's lighter, stiffer, smoother and flat-out better looking than anything out there.

from SLO Date Reviewed: July 31, 2011 Strengths: My model is the 2011 Sram-Truvativ X0 rear derailleur. I believe the one in the picture is a 2010. I have heard that the 2011 is stronger in some aspects compared to the 2010. Anyways, on with my review At first, I was skeptical with this derailleur. I decided to pick up the entire X0 drivetrain. The only regret I have is that it may have been smarter to save some money at the expense of about 30 grams by getting the X9 R/D, which is the same X-glide technology with just a few heavier parts. Oh well, this one has been holding up spectacularly. I will make sure to update this upon any problems. I am not a DH rider, but I'm not XC or a "weekend warrior" (whatever that is) I do a lot of all mountain riding and some light freeride. I'm hear on Vancouver Island right now and it has been on my bike for some large drops, jumps, and gaps. It seems like some of the peole talking down on this R/D are making phony reviews simply to spite the R/D for whatever reason because some of it sounds like complete crap. You can't expe t a derailleur to take a full smack to a rock without breaking the cage, so no this isn't indestructible. It has taken some good crashes, that is for sure! (wonders about people who have made weird complaints on this R/D) Weaknesses: I want to be overly critical with this piece because of how expensive it is... but I believe that most of the problems people encounter with this R/D are based on people not installing it properly. This derailleur handles amazingly and shifts great. I'll update any problems.

from Georgia, USA Date Reviewed: April 11, 2011 Strengths: Shifts quick, very responsive. I never had shifting issues with it. Weaknesses: I really wanted this to work, as my SRAM road stuff broke so much I just ended up going Shimano. I've had the full SRAM X0 2x10 group for about 3 months now, and yesterday the pivot where the upper pulley is broke somehow. Pretty much shows me SRAM makes junk period nowadays. I'm going to get a price on XTR today...
