SRAM Apex 1 Type 2.1 11 Speed Long Cage Rear Derailleur Black

Many Features of Higher Priced Options
The SRAM Apex 1 Type 2.1 11 Speed Long Cage Rear Derailleur makes gearing choice a reality with clean, crisp shifts, due to SRAM's X-Horizon geometry and the Roller Bearing Clutch. Apex derailleurs share all the compatibility and many of the features of higher priced options.

X-Horizon
The X-Horizon rear derailleur's 'straight parallelogram' design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.

Cage Lock
With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation-as well as chain installation-becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

Exact Actuation
When SRAM launched their road technology from scratch, they reapplied their MTB proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel: derailleur movement). EA helps to simplify and stabilize the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing, and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up - and it stays that way.

Roller Bearing Clutch
rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability-even through the most punishing terrain. With Roller Bearing Clutch technology, derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision
