Sram Derailleur Eagle 70 12 Speed T-Type Mechanical 52T Max

The SRAM Eagle 70 T-Type Mechanical Rear Derailleur brings Transmission-level strength and precision to a cable-actuated drivetrain. Designed as the entry point into SRAM’s T-Type ecosystem, it delivers incredibly consistent shifting with the added simplicity and affordability of mechanical operation.

Unlike traditional derailleurs, the Eagle 70 uses a Full Mount hangerless interface, attaching directly to a UDH-compatible frame for superior alignment and impact resistance. Combined with the new T-Type cable actuation, it offers some of the crispest mechanical shifting SRAM has ever produced.

Built for real-world abuse, it features replaceable skid plates, rebuildable internals, and a robust long cage, making it one of the most durable and serviceable derailleurs in its class.
