SRAM Apex XPLR 12-speed Rear Derailleur

The Apex XPLR rear derailleur from SRAM for a 1x12-speed mechanical drivetrain

The SRAM Apex rear derailleur from the XPLR gravel series is suitable for a 1x12-speed setup and is controlled mechanically. Thanks to the spring clutch, the chain retains optimum tension and shifts smoothly. The straight X-Horizon design prevents sudden shifting errors. Use the rear derailleur together with an XPLR cassette with up to 44 teeth and a 12-speed shifter from the Apex or Eagle series for drop and flat bar cockpits.
