Built with premium materials and exclusive finishes, SRAM Eagle S500 brings the power of AXS to all riders. As the flagship of the Eagle S-Series, S500 is ready for MTB, E-MTB, or gravel. It pairs seamlessly with any AXS controller, including drop-bar shifters, making it a versatile, high end upgrade for riders who demean lasting performance.
The undisputed brain of your drivetrain. As the pinnacle of the simplified S-Series ecosystem, the SRAM Eagle AXS S500 (RD-S500-E-B1) derailleur brings World Cup-winning, wireless precision directly to your local trails. AXS connectivity ensures a frictionless, cable-free setup, unlocking infinite customization and seamless integration with any other AXS component on your build. But its true genius lies in its survival instincts: armed with an incredibly resilient Overload Clutch, the internal motor gearbox instantly disengages upon impact, allowing the derailleur to deflect the blow before snapping back into perfect alignment. Impervious to the elements, it thrives in deep creek crossings, heavy mud, and aggressive post-ride washdowns. Purpose-built for maximum versatility, it effortlessly commands both 10-50T and massive 10-52T Eagle cassettes.

Our thoughts:
The SRAM Eagle S-Series represents the definitive evolution of the legacy Eagle and AXS platforms, distilling them into three distinct, purpose-built tiers: S100, S200, and S500. The result is a radically simplified, seamlessly cross-compatible drivetrain ecosystem designed to give you the ultimate freedom to mix and match.
SRAM eliminated the guesswork from your build. This strategic consolidation empowers you to instantly identify the perfect upgrade or replacement, whether you are breathing new life into an older chassis, refreshing a worn-out race rig, or dialing in the exact performance tier your riding demands.
To guarantee absolute precision in your component selection, utilize the intuitive replacement matrix. It provides a direct, foolproof roadmap showing exactly which S-Series parts seamlessly upgrade your existing Eagle hardware, allowing you to build and ride with total confidence.
