SRAM S500 Eagle AXS 12-Speed Rear Derailleur – Wireless MTB Shifting Performance
Upgrade your mountain bike drivetrain with the SRAM S500 Eagle AXS 12-Speed Rear Derailleur, delivering the same proven wireless shifting platform trusted across the Eagle AXS range. Designed as a direct replacement for GX AXS, X01 AXS and XX1 AXS rear derailleurs, the S500 provides precise, reliable electronic shifting with seamless integration into the SRAM AXS ecosystem.
At the heart of the Eagle drivetrain, the S500 AXS derailleur offers clean wireless installation, easy setup through the AXS app, and consistent shifting performance in all riding conditions. Built to withstand aggressive trail riding, it features SRAM’s innovative Overload Clutch, which helps protect the derailleur during impacts by disengaging the motor gearbox before instantly returning it to position.
Whether you’re racing, trail riding, or tackling demanding terrain, the robust aluminium cage and Type 3 Roller Bearing Clutch ensure excellent chain retention and reduced drivetrain noise.
