June 15, 2023 - The new Apex 1×12 groupset is ready for every kind of gravel ride. With wireless AXS or classic DoubleTap mechanical shifting, Apex is all about simplicity and reliability, allowing you to focus on finding the fun.

Apex is the group that knows how to have a good time and features wide-range 1×12 gearing for gravel, bikepacking, adventure, casual cruises, and everything in between.

Choose from the gravel-specific 11-44T of XPLR or the adventure-seeking 11-50T of Eagle. Either way, you get the most versatile wide-range gearing for whatever you do on your gravel bike.

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.

The unique chainring and chain design securely holds your chain in place, so you can focus on your connection with nature. With one chainring up front, a wide range of gears at the back, and 12 speeds at your fingertips, there’s a gear for every situation to make climbing hills look easy. Then ride down them as fast as you’d like.

Apex AXS wireless electronic shifting is as logical as it gets. Press the left shifter for an easier gear. Press the right for harder. Apex DoubleTap mechanical shifting uses one lever to shift. Click once for a harder gear. Push farther for easier gears. Keep your left hand free for snacks.

Whether it’s removing a rear wheel with Cage Lock, using barrel adjuster or shifting with DoubleTap, riders can learn how to work on Apex and SRAM componentry easily thanks to our How-To series.
