Pros: Is a good all around rear Deraillur. I like the short cage though as you have more clearance in technical terrain.

Cons: Ghost shift.

Pros: Sram 1:1 is always precise and crisp. Stronger than the X0 and more resistant to stick hits.

Recommendation: Dependable durable derailleur. For people who don't like the fragility of the X0 but love its shifting.

Pros: Very strong, accurate shifting.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Smooth shifting

Cons: Nothing so far.

Pros: 1:1, Durability, VALUE!!!

Cons: none

Recommendation: Couldnt be happier, as a testament, a couple rides ago saw me pick up a small log that hooked a spoke and made a full revolution around my wheel! It bent the derailer hanger (i didnt notice it till i got to the store) and it was out of position by more than an inch. It still shifted perfectly! Good stuff.

Cons: None

Recommendation: For anyone

Pros: Crisp shifting. Great design. Durable.

Recommendation: Going one step higher than this seems ridiculous for the to me, but I understand if you have a ton of money to burn or if you just want the most expensive stuff on your bike, then you would pass up the X-9s and go for the X-0s. The X-9 system is great and I have not damaged, replaced, or been dissapointed with either sets I have owned (one newer, one older). Crisp shifting and very reasonably priced. Great shifting. I can't justify paying mucho $$$ more for a little less weight and a little more show. I've ridden the X0s several times and never have regretting decknig my rides out with X-9 series.
