The SRAM Kurbelsatz Apex 1 crankset is designed for riders who want a simple, reliable, and efficient 1x drivetrain for road, gravel, or cyclocross use. By eliminating the front derailleur, this crankset reduces mechanical complexity and potential chain drops, giving you smooth and confident shifting across a wide-range cassette. Its single narrow-wide chainring is engineered to hold the chain securely, even on rough terrain, making it an excellent choice for mixed-surface adventures and everyday training rides.
Built around SRAM’s proven Apex 1 platform, this crankset offers a great balance of durability, stiffness, and value. The arms are shaped to provide efficient power transfer while keeping weight reasonable for long days in the saddle. It is compatible with common bottom bracket standards and works seamlessly with SRAM 1x drivetrains, allowing easy integration into many modern bikes. Whether you are upgrading an older bike to a cleaner 1x setup or completing a new gravel build, the SRAM Kurbelsatz Apex 1 delivers dependable performance and low-maintenance operation you can trust.
