SRAM APEX Eagle 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.

Reach Adjust allows personalization, and the Stealth-a-majig hose connector makes quick setup a breeze.

APEX EAGLE REAR DERAILLEUR
Eagle range on a drop bar bike? Now that’s a party. The Apex Eagle rear derailleur quietly and quickly shifts across our 12-speed Eagle cassettes, while 1x-specific chain retention technology keeps the chain where it needs to be. It’s the best of our road and mountain bike innovations in one package.

- Works with 12-speed mechanical Apex and Eagle shifters
- Use with Eagle chain
- Roller Bearing 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
APEX WIDE CRANKSET
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.
