SRAM has announced a stealthy version of its XX1 groupset for 2016, as well as a couple of practical and retrofittable accessories for current SRAM 1x users.
XX1 Black groupset
Apart from being fitted with SRAM's latest generation X-SYNC direct mount chainring, the XX1 Black groupset is mechanically identical to the version that is currently on sale.
With so many riders switching out to 1x setups, many frames are being left with ugly and redundant front derailleur mounts – particularly those with a high direct-mount standard.
If you're spending closer to £350 / US$460 for a set of cranks, you'll probably want to look after them.
