Review on SRAM X 4 8 Speed Trigger Set by Alex Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The trigger is difficult to read, easier to change than the previous S4

I switched from the old S4 trigger to this new X4. It's weird to push in the same direction and increase or decrease speed at the same time, with two different triggers of course, but I'm not used to that. The markers are hard to read, I use it to train my partner and let her know how fast I am, now I can tell roughly how fast I am, it's really hard to tell if you're on a 6th or are 5 on derailleur scale or 7. However shifting is much better and easier than my previous S4. I'm happy with the new triggers but am getting used to the changes.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • So far so good
