SRAM Apex Rear Derailleur Review

SRAM Apex Rear Derailleur

  • Speeds Mid 32T cage RD offer wider gearing than triple (11-32T with 5034T crankset)
  • Exact Actuation makes 10 speeds shifting smooth and quiet
  • Set up is faster and durability is increaed with our patented Actuation ratio
  • Apex Derailleur is both lightweight and very durable
  • Weight 190g – Mid 32T rear

Along with the wide-ratio cassette options, the Apex Rear Derailleur is a big part of SRAM’s WiFli 2 x 10 speed road shifting system. It stands for Wider, Faster, Lighter. The premise is… why ride with the extra complexity and weight of a triple crank, when you’ll have redundant gear ratios across the chainrings anyway? Sure, the folks at SRAM know that many of us want to have a mountain goat style granny gear and something to crank out at high speed as well. That’s the reason for WiFli. A wide-ratio cassette coupled to a double crank can, in reality, get you all the gear range you’ll need to conquer both mountain passes and city limit sprints with equal aplomb.The SRAM Apex Rear Derailleur is designed to accommodate the 11-32t 10-speed Apex PG-1050 Cassette. Of course, it will work with all other SRAM 10-speed cassettes as well. It works in harmony with SRAM’s Exact Actuation DoubleTap Shifters to make crisp, flawless shifts time and again. The body of the derailleur is aluminum alloy, with the cage plates being made of aluminum for the outer and durable steel for the inner. The jockey wheels are supported on bearings for smooth function and long life. It is available in two cage length configurations — short (handles up to 28t cassette) and mid (up to 32t cassette).Exact Actuation delivers precise 3mm shifts with each click for clean, reliable shifting Aluminum inner cage for added durability Aluminum outer cage for reduced weight and increased stiffness Available in medium and short cages for varying gear ratios

Other than the Double Tap shift lever, perhaps no component in the SRAM road component family represents a greater departure from familiar mechanical territory than the Force Rear Derailleur. It’s a bit of a technical story, but it’s one whose benefits are evident the first time you run through your gears: You’ll experience crisper, more precise shifting than you’ve ever felt before.Virtually every rear derailleur you’ve ever used pre-Force is built around 3 springs: The B-position spring, the pivot spring, and the parallelogram spring. What SRAM learned as they developed their rear derailleur, though, was that a 2-spring system built with more powerful springs outperforms the 3-spring standard. By eliminating the B-position spring and fixing your derailleur’s B-position in place, the Force derailleur better manages the gap between the guide pulley and your cassette cog. The stout strength of the springs is directly related to the inherent mechanical advantage of the Force Double Tap shifter. Strength requires strength, and it results in punchy, quick shifts.The other half of the story is SRAM’s Exact Actuation technology. Most rear derailleurs pull slightly different amounts of cable depending on which end of the gearing spectrum they’re in. You can feel this when the first few cogs of your non-SRAM system shift perfectly, and then the shifts are off. With Exact Actuation, the Force derailleur pulls the same amount of cable (and thereby moves the derailleur the same distance) with every click, no matter what gear you’re in. Each click gives you a predictable 3mm of cable pull.Thanks to the 2-spring design and Exact Actuation, the Force rear derailleur is perhaps the most user-friendly derailleur we’ve ever seen.

At this point, you’ve likely “made the leap,” to swipe SRAM’s marketing parlance. Whether you modified a 10-speed cassette with a One-Up-style expansion cog, or adopted early and wore out your first cassette, the SRAM XX1 X-DOME Cassette is the pinnacle of one-by technology. By trading freehub bodies for drivers, SRAM was able to put a tiny, 10-tooth cog on the end to balance out the monster, 42-tooth cog on the low end. This ensures that the balance of granny grinding to flat-out-flying is maintained.

All the best things, from Tufnel’s amp to SRAM’s Force 22 groupset, are designed to max out at 11. The Force 22 Rear Derailleur is a key part of the new Force 22 drivetrain, and it gives you smooth, laser-guided 11-speed shifting under even the most demanding conditions. SRAM didn’t design the Force 22 from scratch. To ensure precise shifting no matter the gear combination, it took the 1:1 Exact Actuation technology from its award-winning 10-speed Red groupset. This means that you’ll pull the same length of cable in every shift, regardless of gear, so shifting stays super precise and adjustment free. More speeds means smaller gaps between gears, too, so each shift is lightning fast. Not content to update the shifting mechanism, SRAM also updated the pulleys and the materials used in the Force 22. The AeroGlide pulley system ensures super-smooth, quiet, and efficient pulley action, and a new elastomer coating reduces noise even further for a more pleasant riding experience. There’s a new barrel adjuster, too, which lets you dial in micro-adjustments without the need for tools. As far as materials are concerned, the Force 22 is made from a combination of rugged aluminum, carbon fiber, and magnesium for the ultimate combination of stiffness, lightness, and durability.
