Signature Features

Limited Edition: 1,987 groupsets, each individually numbered and finished in exclusive silver with 1987 script accents

Shift Under Load, Refined: updated T-Type derailleur control for faster, more controlled shift speeds and the most robust, responsive Eagle Transmission derailleur to date

Integrated Power: X0-inspired all-aluminum crank (170 mm only) with spider-based, dual-sided power measurement and threaded chainrings; 34T installed, 32T included, plus the required removal tool

Lighter 10–52T Cassette: architecture rooted in XX SL and shaved by an additional 25 g without compromising durability (not approved for e-MTB use)

Flattop Chain: hollow links and pins with Hard Chrome coating and subtle 1987 detailing, including Stan Day’s handwritten script and the set’s unique serial number

Cockpit Your Way: two Pod Ultimate controllers with silver Infinity clamps for tidy left/right customization and easy integration with Reverb AXS / Flight Attendant

With a tightly limited run, SRAM selected 170 mm—the most widely used length—to fit the broadest range of riders.

Compatibility & Limitations

e-MTB: cassette and chain are XX SL-based and not approved for e-MTB use

Replacement Parts: if a component is worn or damaged, compatible Eagle Transmission T-Type parts can be used; replacement items will not carry the original 1–1987 serialization

Derailleur Construction

XX aluminum inline cage paired with the lightest AXS Full-Mount XX SL body balances strength and low mass for precise shifts under load.

Charging & Power

Box includes a 4-bay USB-C charger that charges four AXS batteries in the time a single-bay charger charges one, plus two AXS batteries so you always have a spare.

Design Notes

The 1987 Collection honors SRAM’s origin story—founded in 1987 with Grip Shift—and embodies the brand’s ongoing drive to make every ride better.
