With these shifters, SRAM strives to keep the look and feel high-end in an affordable entry-level package with alloy main cable pull levers and main body. The shifting is at its core much the same as with the higher level shifters, save for losing maybe a half step on quickness and requiring a touch more pressure to actuate the levers. A pretty small price to pay considering how high SRAM's upper end sets the bar if you ask us, making X.5 a good match for recreational off roaders and flat bar commuters with no need for the top-of-the-line.
