Experience the pinnacle of shifting simplicity and reliability with the SRAM Apex 1 Rear Derailleur. Designed for the modern cyclist who demands a wide gear range without the complexity of a front derailleur, the Apex 1 system empowers you to simply go where you want. Whether you´re powering through a fast-paced Road Cycling route, grinding up a gravel climb, or navigating a technical cyclocross course, this derailleur delivers the performance and confidence you need to conquer any terrain.
The SRAM Apex 1 drivetrain provides the gear range and the shifting simplicity to let you simply go where you want.
The Apex 1 rear derailleur makes that gearing choice a reality with clean, crisp shifts, thanks to SRAM’s X-Horizon™ geometry and our Roller Bearing Clutch™. This combination is the heart of the 1x drivetrain revolution, offering unparalleled chain management and shifting precision. The straight-parallelogram design of X-HORIZON™ limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. This results in faster, more exact shifting across the entire cassette, giving you the right gear exactly when you need it. For a quieter, more stable, and secure ride, the integrated Roller Bearing Clutch™ eliminates derailleur bounce and distracting chain slap, ensuring your chain stays put even on the roughest surfaces.
Engineered for versatility, this Long cage derailleur is the key to unlocking a massive gear range. It allows you to run a wide-range cassette, providing the low-end gearing needed for the steepest ascents and the high-end speed for fast descents and flat-out sprints. The entire system is built for durability and consistent performance, allowing you to focus purely on the ride ahead.
