SRAM Apex 10-Speed Rear Derailleur

The folks at SRAM pulled out all the stops when they created the new Apex gruppo. Take the Apex long-cage, 10-speed rear derailleur, for example. Matched perfectly to SRAM's new PG 1050 11-32 tooth cassette and its compact Apex crankset, the Apex rear derailleur delivers virtually the same effective gear range as a triple, but with smoother, easier shifting, less weight and less redundancy. Resembling SRAM's higher-end gruppos in appearance, and with features similar to those found in Rival, Force and Red, Apex offers a winning synthesis of performance, value and style.

• With its MTB-proven 1:1 actuation ratio, SRAM's new Apex 10-speed rear derailleur is tailor-made for value-oriented cyclists looking for precise, consistent shifting performance
• The widest range of adjustment and precise geometry create market-leading 10-speed performance
• Derailleur pulleys use bearings, not bushings, for smooth-rolling performance with minimal friction
• Same sleek, Jet Black gloss finish that characterizes the other components in the gruppo
