SRAM Apex 1 Groupset - XPLR | AXS | 1x12-speed | D1

Gravel, Bikepacking, Adventure, occasional touring and everything in between – the SRAM Apex groupset knows how to have fun. The Apex components not only ensure smooth and reliable shifting, but also guarantee secure chain retention and controlled yet powerful braking performance. The Apex groupset is easy to understand and operate so that users can concentrate on what's important: the joy of riding.

Composition of the SRAM Apex AXS XPLR groupset:

• ED-APX-D1 | hydraulic Apex AXS disc brakes:
  eTap® brake/shift lever (left/right) + brake caliper (Flat Mount, front/rear)
• FC-APX-1W-D1 | Apex 1 crankset (DUB™)
• RD-APX-1E-D1 | Apex XPLR AXS rear derailleur
• CS-PG-1231-D1 | XPLR cassette (PG-1231, 11-44 teeth)
• CN-APX-D1 | Apex chain (Flattop®, incl. PowerLock™ chain connector)
• EP-EAC-BAT-A1 | battery
• EP-EAC-BC-A1 | charger

Adapters and bottom bracket cups are not included. These can be ordered separately.

With the Apex AXS disc brake system, the powerful hydraulic brake caliper and intuitive wireless shifting form an unbeatable unit at the highest level. When it comes to deceleration, the eTap® brake/shift lever offers controlled modulation, while the possibility of adjusting the grip width and the revised grip body shape ensure comfort.

In many disciplines, a single chainring is all it takes. The Apex 1 crankset, combined with the wide range of the PG-1231 cassette, gives the right gear ratio for any kind of adventure. While the elegant and stable X-SYNC™ chainring ensures perfect chain management, the PowerGlide II cassette offers the gear ratio spectrum of a 2-speed drivetrain in a package for 1x12-speed shifting systems.

Whether on road or off, the Apex XPLR rear derailleur is also dedicated to flawless chain retention with its special spring clutch. Meanwhile, the Flattop™ construction makes the Apex chain not only lighter and narrower, but also stronger and more durable. The result is not only faster and more precise shifting, but also a quieter chain run.
