SRAM Apex Eagle 12-Speed Rear Derailleur

The Apex Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur allows a mountain bike cassette on a gravel bike

With the mechanically controlled Apex Eagle 12-speed rear derailleur from SRAM, you combine mountain bike gearing with drop bars. This opens up completely new possibilities for gravel riding without having to rely on electronic shifting. The design and technologies are made for rough terrain. This way, the chain always stays where it belongs. Sudden shifting errors are eliminated thanks to the X-Horizon cage and chain tension is stabilised thanks to the roller bearing clutch. Gear changes are direct and quiet. With Cage Lock, you can loosen the chain tension to remove the wheel or to easily install a new chain.

Technology:

X-Horizon™
The parallelogram design of X-Horizon derailleurs limits movement along the horizontal axis, eliminating ghost shifting and reducing needed shifting force. The large offset of the upper shifting roller ensures a constant chain distance in every gear for faster and more precise shifting.

X-Actuation™
Developed specifically for 1x drivetrains, X-Actuation keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire cassette.

Cage Lock™
Thanks to the rear derailleur's Cage-Lock technology, the chain and the rear wheel can be fitted and removed really easily. Simply release the chain tension by pushing the shift cage forward and locking it.

Roller Bearing Clutch™
Rear derailleurs with Roller Bearing Clutch are equipped for rough and demanding terrain. Unimpressed by a ground full of roots, stones or rocks, the technology ensures a stable rear derailleur and prevents beating chains. The rear derailleur thus offers maximum drive stability without compromising on precision or performance.
