SRAM has announced a huge update to their budget gravel groupset, Apex. The groupset was the only performance gravel groupset left in their range that was purely mechanical and also only had 11 speeds.
The updated Apex will now come in 12-speed and will be available with either AXS wireless electronic shifting, or with good old fashioned cable actuation. The new Apex AXS groupset will now take its place as the most affordable electronic groupset in SRAM's range and the gateway to most riders' first experience of electronic shifting.
