Self-cleaning is nice. | | Weaknesses: | The cage itself (possibly a long-cage problem) | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Deore | | Bike Setup: | Fully custom Niner Air 9. | | Bottom Line: | I upgraded from a crappy Deore setup to a full X.9 setup and have since snapped two rear derailleurs (both rear) in SIX MONTHS! I should note that I am not a super hard rider, though we do ride some semi-technical stuff. I'm disappointed in the X.9 rears so far. I've been using a long-cage, but since I run a 22/32/bash setup, I'm going to go with a short-cage and see how it works out. Hopefully, I have better luck with that as I dread going back to crap-mano. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Strengths: | - Crisp shifting | | Weaknesses: | - Weak | | Similar Products Used: | Deore, LX, XT | | Bike Setup: | 2006 Norco Six One | | Bottom Line: | I really tried loving this product but after going through 3 RD in one season I've got to be disapointed. I almost jumped and switched to Shimano after breaking the 2nd one last year (both time the cage bent on very small impacts, i.e. walking next to the bike and hit a rock) but the guy at the shop told me they fixed this problem on the '07 version. And they did but something else breaks (this time it's the low setup screw that bent). I'm buying a last one. Going for a short cage this time and it will hopefully be compact enough to avoid hitting it but as soon as this one fails, I'm going for an all XT setup, period. SRAM you've already spent your last chance, if it wasn't that I need to change the shifters (and that I spent too much already), I'd buy an XT right away. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

It worked well for 3 years, then the body of the derailleur broke where it bolts onto the frame. This resulted in some bent spokes, a mangled chain and a long walk home.
It shifted nicely (no better or worse than above mentioned shimano) but I think it should have last longer and the collateral damage due to the sudden failure is expensive.
I keep my drivetrain maintaned and clean and replace parts as needed to avoid this sort of problem.
I weigh 145 and ride cross country - 2 or 3 24 hour races a year (team of 4) About 800 miles per year on this bike. I usually get good life out of equipment at the xt or X9 level. I got 10 years out of shimano xt so I was hoping for similar performance from SRAM X9. I think I will go back to the dark side and hope Shimano's new version of xt is as durably as the old stuff.
Unless SRAM has addressed this problem with their new X9 derailluers I would not recommend this product to anyone.

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Worx | | Strengths: | Trouble-free operation with occasional cleaning. Shifts well. Not a horrible price. (if they would last) | | Weaknesses: | Breaks easily. Shears off just under the skewer if the wind blows thw wrong way. The X-7 was equally disappointing. | | Similar Products Used: | SRAM X-7 (see my X-7 review, it's about the same as this one) | | Bike Setup: | 06 Rush. Maverick SC32 fork. mech/discs. Nothing fancy otherwise. It will have a new derailleur soon, but not SRAM :-( | | Bottom Line: | I am disappointed by the short life span of both the X-9 and 7. Morseon the 9 because of it's price and because it only lasted a few months. I have a $75 paper weight now, but it does match my X-7 paperweight.
These things really do a number on spokes when they grenade too. Factor that into your replacement price, as you'll be getting wheels rebuilt more than you change socks with these little trouble-makers.
Watch for shrapnel too. They don't go quietly. Bring shoes that are easier to walk home in - or bring a chain breaker so you can at least rig it so you can ride back after the imminent failure that will ensue should the derailleur brush up against a blade of grass or a soft dandelion while you're out riding.
I will do my best to avoid buying their products from now on. Save you money on both the X-7 and the X-9. I have seen quite a few similar reviews about these things. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Looks good, light, fairly easy to fit. | | Weaknesses: | The derailleur bolt. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano | | Bike Setup: | RIP 9 AM. | | Bottom Line: | Second ride with this brand new derailleur, and it broke the bolt that attaches it to the hanger...and that gave me a long walk home.
I usually run a Rohloff Speedhub, and have been absolutely spoiled by it's reliability and no - fuss shifting.
I am very disappointed in the SRAM X9 derailleur. I never hit anything, I just changed gears, and *SNAP* ... it was busted. It snapped off and slammed itself into the cassette.
The bolt that holds the derailleur to the hanger is a hollow alloy one that is likely to break if you look at it the wrong way....very weak set up, imo.
I test a LOT of equipment, it's part of my job, and this flimsy little hollow alloy bolt is a joke. When you consider the amount of force placed on the hanger bolt, it would be a wise move for SRAM to strengthen this bolt so that it doesn't break so easily. Mine just snapped like a carrot!
.........Not happy with this, at all.

I commute every day and ride trails as often as possible evenings and weekends. On my commute I'm usually towing a kid in a trailer and even ride all winter long. I'm a big guy with a bit of extra weight and towing only only makes it worse but this derailleur has held up wonderfully. Even after four broken hangers all I do is slap it back on and my bikes shifts like new.
I also like the sram shifters and it's easy to find both packaged together like I did. At the price and weight I see no reason to upgrade to the X.O and they've treated me so well I have no plans to go the Shimano any time soon. If I have to replace or set up a new bike I will definitely buy another set. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$70.00 | | Strengths: | Works well with the X.o grip shifters | | Weaknesses: | Wears out quickly. After a short period of time they seem to develope slop/play in the pivots and the body becomes loose. When your just adjusting the deraileur it doesn't seem to be an issue. BUT, when you start riding and cranking at high speeds the SLOP and PLAY in the body cause the shifting to be all f***ed up and skip. Another weakness, I've sheared 4 of these things off my Turners. The body cracks off just below where it's mounted to the hanger. The newer ones seem to be made from a different alloy so hopefully SRAM fixed the problem. I'll have to give SRAM props for warrantying several of these but it gets old when they keep breaking and wearing out so quickly. | | Similar Products Used: | XT but not as good | | Bottom Line: | I've got X.O grip shifters so I'm stuck with the SRAM specific deraileurs. I should really just switch to a Rocket/Attack shifter and put an XT on the rear. This seems to be the most frequently replaced part on my bike. Noisy at high speeds and body wears out quickly. They work great when they're new but don't when they're shearing off and tearing out your rear wheel...OUCH, a double wammy! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

The H - L adjustment face outwards and slightly to the front...therefore when you stand behind the bike to monitor the adjustment of the derailleur its nearly impossible to turn the screws.
Price is nothing too special, although it does appear at good discount prices around the web, probably as its still a 'relatively' new product.
When in use there is nothing to fault the sram but all derailleurs require adjustment and this just ain't as straight forward as it should be...
