What Makes the SRAM S500 the Smart Eagle AXS Derailleur Choice?

The SRAM S500 Eagle AXS rear derailleur is the heart of any modern wireless 12-speed drivetrain, bringing World Championship pedigree to riders who want crisp, confident shifting without a shift cable. AXS wireless connectivity means setup is fast, personalization is handled in the AXS app, and the derailleur talks seamlessly to any other AXS component on your bike, MTB or road. The flagship of the Eagle S-Series lineup, S500 is ready for trail, enduro, e-MTB, and even drop-bar gravel builds when paired with eTap AXS levers.

What sets S500 apart is how it protects itself. The Overload Clutch disengages the motor gearbox the instant the derailleur takes a hit, letting it move freely out of harm's way before snapping right back into position with no interruption to your ride. The Type 3 cage damper keeps the chain quiet and locked in on rough descents, the robust aluminum cage handles real-world abuse, and the entire system is sealed against water and dust for creek crossings, mud, and post-ride washdowns. Compatible with both 10-50t and 10-52t Eagle cassettes. Battery sold separately.

FAQ

Does this come with a battery?

No. The SRAM AXS battery is sold separately. If you do not already have one, you will need to purchase an AXS battery to use this derailleur.

Is the S500 backward compatible with older Eagle 12-speed components?

Yes. The Eagle S-Series, including the S500, is designed to work with previous-generation SRAM Eagle 12-speed components such as SX, NX, GX, X01, and XX1. You can mix and match within the Eagle ecosystem.

Can I use this on a drop-bar gravel bike?

Yes. Paired with eTap AXS drop-bar shifters, the S500 Eagle AXS derailleur creates a wide-range 1x drop-bar setup. This is one of the more popular gravel and adventure builds for riders who want big climbing gears and wireless shifting.

Best For

Best for trail, enduro, and e-MTB riders who want flagship Eagle AXS performance without stepping up to Transmission. Also a great choice for gravel riders building a wide-range 1x drop-bar setup with eTap AXS levers, and for anyone upgrading an existing Eagle drivetrain to wireless shifting while keeping their current cassette and chain.
