"Apparently, 38 years is the 'Mostly Shiny Aluminum' Anniversary, because SRAM is celebrating with a limited-edition 1987 Eagle Transmission Collection that swaps carbon and dark anodized finishes for shiny alloy. This is what you would get if you took a wireless SRAM XX SL Transmission group, replaced all of the proper carbon with silver anodized aluminum, and left all the black plastic bits still there."
"From a semi-new perspective, it's the first time they've combined a dual-sided powermeter with their alloy Transmission cranks. SRAM calls it the "most advanced aluminum crankset" they've ever made. It combines an X0 T-type set of arms with a road/gravel-style sleek AXS powermeter spider. Of course, that means it's a thread mount. So it gets special matching chainrings like you find on standard XX & XX SL powermeter cranks."
SRAM marks 38 years with a limited-edition 1987 Eagle Transmission Collection featuring shiny silver anodized aluminum replacing typical carbon and dark anodized finishes across key components. The collection ships as four primary, individually numbered components (1–1987) with SRAM and 1987 graphics in Stan Day's handwriting style. The groupset pairs an alloy Transmission crankset with a dual-sided AXS powermeter spider, creating what SRAM calls its most advanced aluminum crankset and using thread-mount powermeter compatibility with special matching chainrings. A reworked hollow-pin T-type XX SL chain receives a hard chrome coating and unique graphics. The package includes SRAM's lightest-ever Eagle Transmission cassette.
