The SRAM Schaltwerk Apex 1 rear derailleur is designed for riders who want simple, reliable 1x performance on road, gravel, or cyclocross bikes. Built around SRAM’s proven 1x philosophy, it delivers crisp, consistent shifting across a wide-range cassette without the complexity of a front derailleur. Its robust construction is made to handle everyday riding, commuting, and rougher adventures, while still keeping weight and maintenance demands low. This makes it an excellent choice for riders upgrading from entry-level components or building a versatile all-road machine.
Featuring SRAM’s characteristic clutch-style chain management (on most Apex 1 variants), the derailleur helps keep the chain quiet and secure over rough surfaces, reducing dropped chains and chain slap. The medium or long cage options commonly used with Apex 1 allow compatibility with wide-range cassettes, ideal for steep climbs and bikepacking loads. With straightforward setup and cable-actuated shifting, the SRAM Apex 1 rear derailleur is easy to tune and service at home, offering dependable performance for riders who value durability, simplicity, and control in all conditions.
