SRAM Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed Rear Derailleur

The SRAM Apex AXS 12-speed rear derailleur from the XPLR gravel series

The Apex XPLR AXS 12-speed rear derailleur from SRAM is your choice for an electronic single-ring gravel drivetrain. A spring clutch keeps the chain at the required tension, and you also benefit from quiet, reliable shifting. The proven and intuitive eTap shifting logic is also used here. Thanks to AXS connectivity, you don't have to install cables because the rear derailleur communicates wirelessly with the shifter. Via the AXS app you can access settings and personalise and evaluate the rear derailleur behaviour. We recommend ordering the battery required for operation and a suitable charger together with the rear derailleur.

Technology:

AXS™
AXS is SRAM's electronic integration platform that combines electronic bicycle components and software. The SRAM AXS app allows you to view battery status, change component behaviour, adjust controls, receive maintenance reminders and update firmware.

eTap™
SRAM's eTap is a simple, unambiguous and intuitive shifting logic. With the shift lever on the left-hand side you move the rear derailleur inwards to a larger sprocket, with the shift lever on the right-hand side you move the derailleur outwards to a smaller sprocket. With the shift lever pressed down, you can directly shift several gears. Pressing both shift levers at the same time causes a front derailleur movement in 2x shifting systems.
