SRAM X01 DH Rear Derailleur - 7-Speed, Medium Cage, Black with Clutch (A3)

Rugged downhill-ready performance

The SRAM X01 DH rear derailleur is engineered for riders who demand durability and precise shifting in the harsh realities of downhill and aggressive trail riding. Its black finish hides mud and grime, while the design stands up to repeated hard use on rocky, root-strewn descents.

Central to its performance is SRAM's roller bearing clutch system. This feature helps keep the chain under control as you blast through rough terrain, delivering smoother operation and reducing chain bounce and slap when the trail gets bumpy.

Capacity, cage, and shift consistency

The medium cage is paired with a 30-tooth capacity and supports up to a 28-tooth largest cog. This setup helps maintain consistent chain tension as you move across the full gearing range, helping shifts feel predictable during fast descents.

Cage Lock technology simplifies wheel removal and installation, saving time in the workshop or on trail-side maintenance. The high-clearance profile protects the derailleur from trail snags and keeps it clear of rocks and roots during aggressive line choices.

Designed for X-Actuation 7-speed drivetrains

Optimized for SRAM X-Actuation 7-speed setups, the X01 DH derailleur delivers dependable performance in downhill racing, enduro, and bold trail riding. Real-world results can vary with setup, but riders often note steady shifts under load and robust chain control.
