Features of the SRAM Apex XPLR Rear Derailleur

• Specifically designed for 1x12-speed drivetrains
• Suitable for cassettes with 10-44 or 11-44 tooth ratios
• Clutch for controlling chain tension
• No sudden mis-shifts thanks to X-Horizon™ parallelogram design for less effort and more precise shifting
• X-Actuation™ technology for crisp, sharp, and smooth shifting performance across the entire cassette range
• Cage Lock™ mechanism for faster wheel changes and easier chain installation
• For use with mechanical Apex / Eagle shift levers and flat-top chains

X-Horizon™ | The parallelogram design of X-Horizon™ rear derailleurs limits movement along the horizontal axis. This eliminates so-called "Ghost-Shifting" and reduces the force required for shifting. The large offset of the upper derailleur pulley ensures a constant chainline in every gear, enabling faster and more precise shifting.

Cage Lock™ | Thanks to Cage Lock™ rear derailleur technology, installing and removing the rear wheel as well as mounting the chain is faster and easier than ever. Simply slide the cage forward to release the chain tension and lock it in place.
