Sram Derailleur NX 11 Speed Long Cage

The SRAM NX 11-speed long cage rear derailleur is a dependable workhorse designed for 1x11 mountain bike drivetrains, offering solid performance at an accessible price point. It brings many of SRAM’s proven technologies from higher-end groupsets into a more budget-friendly package.

Built around X-Horizon™ architecture, the derailleur limits unwanted movement to a horizontal path, improving shift accuracy while reducing ghost shifting and chain slap. Combined with X-Actuation™, it delivers consistent, predictable shifting across the cassette—even under load.

The long cage design allows compatibility with wide-range cassettes up to 42T, making it ideal for trail riding and climbing-focused setups.
