SRAM APEX 1X12 Speed

Apex is the group that knows how to have a good time. Wide-range 1x12 gearing for gravel, bikepacking, adventure, casual cruises, and everything in between. Whether with wireless AXS or classic DoubleTap mechanical shifting, Apex provides smooth and reliable shifting, chain retention, and controlled and powerful hydraulic braking. Apex is simple to understand and easy to use, keeping the focus on what matters most – finding the fun.

APEX XPLR REAR DERAILLEUR 

You want your bike to do everything, so you need gears that can do everything.

APEX EAGLE REAR DERAILLEUR
Eagle range on a drop bar bike? Now that’s a party.
