Can I install X-R gears in a Bravo 1 X upper?

A tooth broke off in my Bravo 1 X upper. Is it a good resolution to install X-R gears in the drive.? I hear they rob some speed on the top end?
Thx

Input yoke is an X style so I think it may be possible.

Can you = yes
Would I??? depends on how much HP you have. How many hours on the X gears???
XR upper gears wear out, chip, pit faster than X/XZ's.

An X is an XZ upper and regular bravo lower
An XZ is an X upper and XR lower
