how does it shift?
does it shift quickly & smoothly compare to 2X10?
Does Sram require user to buy the whole component group ?

I have an XX1 group set on my bike right now and will never go back to a 2x setup ever again. It's awesome

Yes. I like it. Very quiet. Shifts well.
After my ride yesterday, I think whatever I wind up with will need especially low gears. I could have used something lower than the lowest I had at times. I'll have to run the numbers to see how low you can go with XX1. Several climbs in excess of 22%.

Here you go - gear ratios for XX1, and comparable 2x10 ratios. Won't cover all, but you can calc from there.
Gear Ratios: Comparing 2×10 versus 1×11 Mountain Bike Drivetrains
Use a gear ratio/inches calc then - I use BikeCalc.com - Bicycle Gear Ratio Chart, but it rounds to the 10th place. Fairly close though. 3x9 is usually 22x34 as the lowest, or at least it used to be, so it's going to be roughly equivalent to 24x36 or 28x42.

Or you could do the calculation yourself. Don't forget the only important figures are the highest and lowest gear ratio.
In the case of my bike with 36/22 chainrings and 11-36T cassette, the range of gearing ratio is 0.611 - 3.273. That's more than what I need riding at our local trails. An XX1 drivetrain with 34T chainring would give me a good 0.81 - 3.4 range that would be fast on flats and downhills, and more than enough for climbing.

Nonsense. People want to help you right now. Later when you need help and nobody is around, we dont wanna hear you begging then. /sarcasm
