Good Features
This shifter has cut the amount of time I need to put towards adjusting my drive train sustantially. This is another one of thoese produts where you put it on and just stop worrying about it. Unlike many other derailleurs on the market these days. The shifting is smooth, if you don't want to pay for the Sram X.O. but still want great perfomance with a 1:1 pull ratio this is the derailleur for you.
Bad Features
So far I have nothing to compain about with this derailleur.
Recommended Alternatives
If you don't want to go with Sram check into a Shimano Xt product and you should expect the same quality.

From Price Point:
SRAM X.9 - Sporting X.0 lineage.
The X.9 line-up features the same robust qualities and technologies as the X.0 system. If you are looking for greatness in a refined high-performance package then look no further, choose X.9!

Stylish and Strong! A forged 6061 aluminum B-Knuckle improves stiffness while the X.9 styling exudes our commitment to quality. X.9 is now available in three cage sizes.

World Cup Proven Composite Cage
Outside Facing Limit Screws - Intuitive Adjustment
Sealed Bearing Upper Pulley
Di.R.T: Direct Route Technology
1:1 Actuation Ratio Superior Shift Quality

Matchmaker Compatible: Avid Matchmaker compatibility takes your cockpit to a new level of personal customization while losing grams and clutter. Simply mount your triggers and brake levers using one shared clamp with matchmaker hardware. Using a Rockshox pushloc? You can mount that too.

1:1 Actuation is simply superior. The very nature of its design makes it this way. For every 1 unit of cable pulled or released, the derailleur moves the same amount. Simple? Yes. Dependable and tolerant? The best. Ease of set-up and adjustment? Easiest. This is why the top athletes in the MTB world prefer SRAM. From the mud infested Cross Country of the Sea Otter Classic, to the rocks and roots of a Fort William World Cup Downhill the 1:1 actuation stays precise and fluid. 1:1 Actuation precision is why you find SRAM on the elite bikes from cross-country flyers to full gravity bombers. 1:1 Setting the shifting standard!

Zero Loss Travel defines the degrees of "lost" travel before the cable engages the shifting pawl. The shifting pawl is always engaged with Zero Loss Travel so the moment you push is the moment the shift starts. It is one important characteristic that makes our X.0 and X.9 triggers so impressive. With zero degrees of "lost travel", 1:1 actuation ratio, and SRAM's constant distance geometry, the distinction in our shift is like no other. Quick and calculated. Fast and precise.

Direct Route Technology: We've been singing the praises of this technology for years. Cut out the middleman, go direct, and speak to the actuation mechanism itself. Direct route technology is light, responsive, precise and impervious to cable housing damage. We have simply reduced the friction by routing the cable directly to the actuation mechanism and less effort means you save the extra push for your ride.
