High-Performance SRAM GX Trigger 10v Rear Shifter 2016 - Smooth and Precise Shifting Experience! Review

This is the only way to go if you want a simple and reliable 10 speed rear derailleur at a good price. No Switch system is easy to set up, but they're better than most.

Hi and low switching needs a bit of tweaking. Be honest, wait and see if it comes back or not. Not recommended for children under middle school age.

Original SRAM switch. I have never used GX. It moves fairly well and is solidly built without being heavy. I put it on a Specialized cyclocross bike that I converted to flat handlebars. Used it on gravel, single track and paved roads in various conditions and works great.

My 9 year old SRAM X7 rear derailleur has finally died. I don't need to buy a new bike as the 2012 custom enduro I have rides like new. But the X7 exploded. I wanted to buy XO for $140 then I saw GX. I'll reiterate what others have said here: the aluminum case looks a lot nicer than the plastic cases you're likely to replace. It was easy to install. Shifts are precise, crisp and light - very light on the thumb. Can't comment on durability yet, but so far it's amazing. And 100 less than XO.
