Sram Apex Xplr Groupset

Apex, One group, multiple choices.

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. With wireless AXS or classic DoubleTap mechanical shifting, XPLR or Eagle gearing, Apex connects you to your bike with 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.

You want your bike to do everything, so you need gears that can do everything. The Apex XPLR derailleur hits the sweet spot of smooth jumps over a big gear range, all with unmatched chain security and the simplicity of a 1x drivetrain. Quietly and quickly shift across our 12-speed cassettes with 44T large cogs, knowing you’ll have the gears ?you need.

FEATURES

• Compatible with cassettes with ?44T large cogs
• Use with Flattop chain
• Works with 12-speed mechanical ?Apex and Eagle shifters
• Clutch controls chain tension for consistent shifting
• X-HORIZON straight parallelogram design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force
• Cage Lock technology makes for fast wheel changes or chain installation

Cagelock

• With CAGE LOCK technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation—as well as chain installation—becomes faster and simpler. Just push the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

Roller Bearing Clutch

• ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH technology eliminates derailleur bounce and chain slap without sacrificing precision.

X-Horizon

• This rear derailleur’s “straight parallelogram” design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.

A single chainring with a wide-range cassette is a wonderfully clean way to tackle so many disciplines, and we’re the 1x leaders. Our Apex 1 Wide crankset features aluminum crankarms, a light and stiff DUB spindle, and elegant and secure direct-mount X-SYNC chainrings for flawless chain management. The wide chainline accommodates wider tires for any type of adventure.

FEATURES

• Single-ring drivetrain simplifies functionality and reduces weight
• Wide chainline crankset to fit the biggest gravel tires
• Longer DUB crank spindle accommodates both Road and MTB width frame bottom bracket standards for unmatched cross-compatibility across brands
• Compatible with 135mm, 142mm and Boost rear spacing
• SRAM X-SYNC wide-tooth, narrow-tooth chainring technology provides maximum chain control
• DUB bottom bracket adds durability ?and simplicity

X-sync

• SRAM X-SYNC 1x chainrings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC chainrings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain. Accept no imitation.

Boost

• BOOST is the standard wheel and drivetrain specification that opens the opportunity for improved frame geometry with shorter chain stays, wider and stiffer suspension pivots, wider range of chainring options, as well as more clearance for bigger tires and wider, stiffer wheels.

Dub

• The relationship between bottom bracket spindle and bearing is the core of DUB technology. It’s where stiffness meets durability. We took it a step beyond conventional thinking and made everything simpler—better integrating the relationship between chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket. It’s this approach to developing a complete system that equals better drivetrain performance.

Maximum range, minimum fuss. This 12-speed 11-44T cassette provides 2x range in a 1x package and fits on a traditional 11-speed driver body for broad integration. The smooth cog progression keeps jumps between cogs tightest when it’s time to go fast, with more meaningful gaps for climbing.

FEATURES

• 12-speed
• 400% range gives the coverage 1x riders want
• Cog sizes: 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 28, 32, 38, 44
• For use with XPLR 1x rear derailleurs
• Compatible with Flattop chains
• For 11-speed road driver bodies

Powerglide 2

• Cassette technology optimized for offroad. More reliable. More durable. Better performing, thanks to an optimal tooth profile and shift ramp design for quick and positive index shifting. Go climb a mountain.

Flattop technology is so much more than a distinctive look. It allows our 12-speed chain to be lighter, stronger and more durable than anything that came before. The Apex chain uses the same construction as the Rival and Force chains, with a polished grey finish.

FEATURES

• 12-speed
• Flattop technology allows for a narrower chain with quieter operation and increased strength and durability
• Includes Flattop PowerLock
• Polished steel with grey finish

Powerlock

• SRAM chain engineers developed PowerLock as a tool free, sure, and consistent way to connect our chains. While PL does not require special tools for install, the especially tight tolerances of 10- and 11-speed drivetrains mandate that each PowerLock is good for a one-time application only.

Flattop

• To enable X-Range gearing technology, we developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop technology not only allowed for a wider gear range, but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength and durability.

.X-Range

• Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders are expanding what’s possible with drop bar bikes. X-Range is gearing for today’s road riding. We completely reimagined road gearing for wider range, more useful and smoother gear progression, as well as smarter shift settings—enabled by AXS. With X-Range, you’re always in the right gear.

ALL TERRAIN

Of all the components that make up a mountain bike drivetrain, the shifter doesn’t exactly get a lot of spotlight time. But as the rider’s literal command and control center, the GX Eagle™ shifter is more than worthy of recognition. With intuitive thumb actuated triggers, the positive feel gives the right rider input to make shifts crisp and discernible every time. What’s more, its already legendary reliability continues for all-day epics, and all-time experiences. Plus, it features an aluminum trigger that’s ready for inevitable punishment, and MatchMaker™X compatibility. Precise and durable, it’s the hard-working, no-compromise shifter keeping riders in the right gear, every ride.

FEATURES

• Aluminum trigger designed for a positive lever feel.
• MatchMaker™X compatible.
• Master GX Eagle™ master colorway to match all cassette and chain colors as part of Eagle™ Colorsystem.
