SRAM X4 trigger shifters deliver proven two-lever trigger shifting at a practical entry-level price. Featuring SRAM's 1:1 Actuation — the cable pull ratio that made SRAM's shifting reputation — the X4 gives crisp, indexed gear changes with comfortable ergonomics, making it a solid choice for budget builds and reliable everyday riding.

Highlights

  • 8-speed MTB trigger shifter set (front and rear)
  • 1:1 Actuation — SRAM's proven cable pull ratio for precise indexed shifting
  • Two-lever design — separate upshift and downshift paddles for controlled gear changes
  • Comfortable lever ergonomics from SRAM's proven shifter platform
  • Fits standard 22.2mm MTB handlebars

1:1 Actuation

SRAM pioneered the 1:1 cable pull ratio — a system where the shifter pulls exactly the right amount of cable to move the derailleur one gear at a time with minimal effort. The X4 inherits this technology from higher-end SRAM shifters, meaning the indexing accuracy and shift feel are well above what you'd expect at this price point.
