Good Features
 When grip shift came out it was good but Sram also need something for people out there who don't want an extra 2 inches up on there handle bars as well as the phantom shifts when your hand happened to slip. Luckily they began producing trigger shifters and they happen to do it really well. The mechanics of the shifting is great it goes as fast as you can and super crisp.

Bad Features
 The smaller shift trigger is easy to hit accidentally, causing unwanted shifts, which can be a real pain. It can be a little awkward to swing your thumb around the big trigger, though this is a minor complaint.

    Good Features
     Ive never had a problem with these shifters after a year of use. They are still very crisp like they were when they were new.

    Bad Features
     You have to reach with your thumb to hit the black shift trigger.

    • 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!

      • Zero Loss Travel™
      • 2-step Front Shifting - uses cable to cradle to equalize overall effort
      • Superior 1:1 Actuation Ratio™
      • Adjustable Clamp Positions
      • Avid Matchmaker™ Compatible

      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.
