As cyclists, we design the products we want on our bikes. The Ratio 12-Speed Upgrade Kit allows you to operate an Eagle™ derailleur with your existing SRAM 11-speed shifters, gaining an unbeatable 500% or 520% range and 12 evenly spaced gears on your gravel, road or touring bike. For reference, a traditional 50/34 compact chainset with 11-28 cassette provides only 374% range.
IMPORTANT: To fit an Eagle™ derailleur to your bike, make sure that your chain stay or seat stay derailleur cable stop is over 70 mm from the centre of the dropout – see diagram for details
In your kit you will find:
- Ratio 12-speed ratchet, with shift spacing specially designed for Eagle™ derailleurs
- Ratio cable fin, replacing the existing cable fin on an Eagle™ derailleur
- Ratio cable adjuster, providing indexing ability on a mountain bike derailleur
- Spare cable fin circlip
- M2.5 screw for shifter ratchet replacement
- Ratio chainstay sticker
To use this kit you will need:
- SRAM 11-speed shifters from the Red™, Force™, Rival™, Apex™ or S Series™ groups.
- An Eagle™ derailleur from the XX1™, X01™ or GX™ groups. The kit is NOT COMPATIBLE with SX™ and NX™ derailleurs as the cable fins on these derailleurs are riveted in place.
- A SRAM Eagle™ 12 speed cassette. We can’t confirm that aftermarket cassettes will perform properly with your drivetrain.
- A 12 speed chain for SRAM Eagle™ drivetrains.
- A 1×12 speed compatible chainring.

This kit is brilliant, I’ve done about 150 miles with it now and the shifting is spot on and is running my GX Eagle derailleur perfectly. It’s easy to fit by following the step by step guide in the videos. Very highly recommend indeed!

It can be a little tricky to get the spindle out of the shifter once at that step, but everything else is a snap. Looking to convert more of my bikes now. I love that I can still use my old 11speed cassette (With it’s chain) after the conversion.

I’m so pleased with my new 1x 11-46 setup which is perfect for winter road/occasional gravel use. I’ve used a “ztto” cassette from aliexpress.com which although a bit of a shot in the dark arrived promptly, works perfectly and well priced at $70. Fits a standard shimano/sram spline. The video guides are super clear so long as you pause and rewind as you go along. Big shout out to Tom for very responsive, extensive detailed advice by email while gathering the components.

Love, love, love my Ratio 12-speed conversion. Simple install and tuning. Just works, out of the box. Ratio customer service is a delight, but if you read the instructions carefully you won’t need them.

Installation video looked daunting, but I gathered the tools and such, gathered my nerves, and just followed the procedure with patience and persistence. The video has clear shots of what’s going on and is a huge help. Now I have to blow mega cash on an Eagle setup. Can’t wait.
