SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 1x12 Gravel bike Groupset

The SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 1x12 groupset is the best value groupset for gravel bikes! The SRAM Apex AXS D1 shifter + caliper is a disc brake set with electronic shifting for the gravel bike. With SRAM Apex AXS disc brakes you get smooth and powerful hydraulic braking combined with light and fast wireless shifting. 12 speeds with a wide range is an unbeatable combination on any terrain. Shifting is as easy as ever: one click for a lighter gear and one click for a heavier one. Nothing extra, nothing to distract you from your goal.

The SRAM Apex 1 Wide Crankset with single chainring combined with a wide cassette range is perfectly tuned for gravel. The SRAM Apex 1 Wide crankset with aluminium crank arms has a good power transmission and a nice design where the chainring fits very well to the crankset. The crankset features direct mount X-SYNC chainrings that keep the chain on the front chainring. The axle has a 29mm DUB fit in your bottom bracket.

The SRAM PG-1231 XPLR cassette has a wide range of 11-44T. Combined with a Sram Apex XPLR 40T crankset, you have enough range for recreational use. The advantage of this cassette is that it has a traditional HG fit for 10-11 speed Shimano bodies. This gives you more choice in a wheelset and you are not restricted to a Sram XDR fit.

The SRAM Apex D1 Flattop chain is a flattop chain with a unique look. Flattop technology is much more than just a distinctive look. It actually makes the chain lighter, stronger and more durable than a traditional chain. The Apex uses the same construction as the Rival and Force chains, with a polished grey finish.

The SRAM Apex XPLR AXS rear derailleur is a wireless gravel bike rear derailleur for 12-speed cassettes up to 44T. The SRAM Apex XPLR AXS D1 is perfect for a 1x12 setup. It can be used with Sram 12-speed 11-44T XPLR, 10-44T XPLR and 10-36T cassettes. It has a great chain guide and shifts very tight and precise in all conditions. The Sram Apex XPLR AXS rear derailleur incorporates the technologies of the Force and Red AXS rear derailleurs, but is made from less high-end materials.

Technology

X-SYNC
A technology used for narrow-wide chainrings milled to keep the chain perfectly centred. Thanks to the narrower and wider teeth on the chainring, combined with the cage tension of the rear derailleur, the chain cannot run off the chainring.
