SRAM GX Eagle DUB Carbon Boost cranks take the best of Eagle's alloy bleed-through technology and upgrade to a carbon chassis for higher performance and sharper graphics. Starting with a direct mount alloy chainring (carbon cranks) X-SYNC 2's tooth profile is designed to maximize chain retention for more consistent pedaling without forcing you to fiddle with a dropped chain on every rough patch.. In addition to better chain control, the X-SYNC 2 design reduces friction and also removes dirt and grime from those sloppy rides in peanut butter mud.

Eagle on-board technology improves long-haul durability with added benefit consisting of maintaining the equivalent gear range of a 2x11 transmission while reducing weight compared to standard 2x equipment. Regarding compatibility, SRAM claims that the GX Eagle will work with any 1x transmission. The 32 tooth chainring size is standard on the GX Eagle allowing for moderate gearing when using an Eagle cassette in the rear.
