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.
