SRAM confirms X3 uses 1:1 Actuation and supports 7/8/9-speed drivetrains with a 32T maximum sprocket. SRAM's technical documentation places X3 and X4 in the same 1:1-actuation family. SRAM
Compatibility: An X4 derailleur can generally replace an X3 when used with the corresponding SRAM 1:1 7/8/9-speed shifter and suitable cassette capacity.
Important: Don't substitute a conventional Shimano MTB derailleur—the cable-pull system is different.
Workshop choice: If repairing an older SRAM X3-equipped bicycle and both are available, X4 is the preferable upgrade/replacement.
