When SRAM set out to chase a better ride, they couldn’t have imagined what we'd be piloting 38 years later—but Eagle Transmission still reflects that day-one vision. And while progress never pauses, SRAM is taking a moment to mark it with the limited-edition 1987 Collection: a curated set of T-Type Ecosystem components finished in an exclusive silver.
It pairs SRAM's most advanced aluminum crankset with their highest-performing, most precise power meter. The cassette—born from the architecture of their lightest MTB design, XX SL—drops a further 25 grams without compromising durability or shift quality, retaining the full 10–52T range and the renowned ability to shift cleanly under load. The T-Type chain pushes strength-to-weight further with hollow links, hollow pins, and a Hard Chrome coating for unmatched durability and efficiency. The 1987 derailleur brings AXS connectivity and the radical Full Mount in the same limited finish, while two AXS Pod Ultimate Controllers tidy the cockpit and let you customize left- and right-hand functions to taste. This is the 1987 Collection—an homage to the dream, delivered in silver.
