Check out our SRAMroad Apex XPLR AXS first ride review - it's a premium groupset at a pleasing price point cycling
SRAM is one of the most innovative cycling component companies in the world having pioneered both the Grip Shift and 1x drivetrain concept, changing the way we consume and think about off-road-specific shifting solutions.
Visually, the controls utilise the same slimmed down hood shape of Rival and comfortable ergonomic interface. Going deeper into the disparities, Apex uses a stamped brake lever as opposed to the forged unit used on Force which is a purely cosmetic difference and does nothing to affect useability.The Apex AXS range is available in two configurations - Eagle or XPLR, and which one you choose will come down to the riding and terrain you most prefer.
A 40T steel chainring is standard issue on all OEM builds and differs from Rival only by way of finish, colour and laser etch detailing. If you want to go bigger, there’s a 44T and 46T chainring available as an aftermarket option. Apex XPLR AXS can be had in one of three cassette options: 11-44T, 10-44T or 10-36T. The derailleur doesn’t feature a cage lock but does employ a spring-loaded clutch for secure chain management over all terrain and surfaces. The OEM-spec 12-speed 11-44T cassette has a decent enough gearing spread to ensure progress is adequate in almost all situations, even when the gradient gets a bit nasty.
The brake levers are reach adjustable and the overall ergonomics are geared towards comfort. The new textured hood interface feels great and grippy and provides confidence when riding out of the drops - no slipping here. It’s also much easier to brake from the hoods which allow riders to mix up their hand positions and avoid fatigue during long stretches and descents.
