Long before UDH became a well-known acronym and widely-adopted standard, our first Patent Patrol sneak peek at SRAM’s direct mount T-type derailleurs illustrated a clearly mechanical Transmission. Now six years later, patent offices just published an updated SRAM mechanical T-type application. And at the same time, bike dealer sites have been trickling out leaked specs for not one, but two different SRAM mechanical Transmissions. (SRAM patent drawings/Bikerumor illustrations) It looks like we’re on the verge of seeing 2 all-new more affordable mechanical shift SRAM Transmissions. Are mechanical SRAM NX Eagle Transmission and SRAM SX Eagle Transmissions coming very soon? SRAM Mechanical T-Type Transmission derailleurs very soon!

(online spec screenshot) The secret of the new SRAM Mechanical T-Type Transmission broke first with references to a “SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission”. But how did we get here? (Photo/Tyler Benedict) Sure, we saw a direct-mount mechanical SRM derailleur all the way back in 2018 with that first patent filing. But then, there was no more concrete mention of mechanical shifting for six years, while SRAM pushed their UDH standard out onto tons of off-road bikes and used the T-type mount as a sales driver for their top wireless AXS electronic drivetrains – first for XX SL, XX & X01 , then more attainable GX AXS before going gravel with Red XPLR AXS . And, most affordably but still electronic for OEM-only […]
