SRAM X5 9-Speed Rear Trigger Shifter

I installed it temporarily on my single speed bike for one longer and very hilly ride and it will stay there probably forever. I paired it with a 9 speed X.5 derailleur and they work together very well the same as my "high end" mountain bike. Shifting is precise and reliable and I prefer Sram over Shimano. Very inexpensive and fun to use. It reminded me why we have derailleurs in the first place.

Bought this for a project bike. Transitioning the bike from a 3 by 9 (27 speed) grip shift system to a 1x9 (9 speed) trigger. Installed easily and works perfectly with the early 2000s SRAM rear 9 speed derailleur. Work perfectly this far.

Pretty cool design. Easy install. You use your thumb to shift up or down. Shifting to lower gears (bigger on the back) happens quickly (up to 4 or 5 gears at once if you really need to). I wish shifting up (to the smaller gears) was a finger trigger rather than a separate thumb shifter.

Love it. I am coming from a twist shifter to this and wow, what a difference!!!I got this with an existing X.7 derailleur. Works way better than I expected. Changed the entire feel of my biking experience for the better!Quick/snappy shifts and very quiet. Metal casing, (not plastic as I've read in some reviews).Zero Cons.Highly recommended!

Item works as described

This is a genuine SRAM 1:1 9-speed trigger shifter. It worked perfectly with my long cage SRAM X5 derailleur. Don't try to use a Shimano shifter on SRAM derailleurs--the ratio of shift lever movement to derailleur movement is not the same. Most Shimano's are 2:1. The SRAM X5 is 1:1. Some SRAMs are other ratios also, so check which SRAM model you have on the SRAM website for its ratio, then choose a compatible shifter.

Great replacement for the poorly designed x9 shifter. This is 2 levels down the tier, however it offers quick crisp shifts.

I put this Sram X.5 9 speed shifter on my Grandson's bike. It's a lower end product but performs really nice in comparison to their X9 shifter. I'd say worth my money on a 10 year old kid's medium level mountain bike.
