Gravel, Bikepacking, Adventure, occasional touring and everything in between – the SRAM Apex groupset knows how to have fun. And the SRAM Apex 1 crankset is no exception. In many disciplines, a single chainring is all it takes. The combination of the appropriate chainring and a cassette with a correspondingly large sprocket range (sold separately) gives the right gear ratio for every kind of adventure.
While the elegant and stable Direct Mount chainring offers perfect chain management thanks to X-SYNC™ design, the already proven DUB™ technology makes its contribution to greater durability of the entire system. As a Wide model, the light and stiff crank for 1x12-speed drivetrain systems is compatible with both road bike and MTB bottom bracket standards. In addition, it offers with its wider chainline also large-dimensioned Gravel tires enough space.

X-SYNC™ | Chainrings with X-SYNC™ technology are an integral part of SRAM 1-speed shifting systems. The sophisticated tooth design with high, square edges ensures maximum performance and durability. Not only the narrow, sharp tooth profile grips the chain earlier than teeth with the traditional triangular shape, also the rounded chamfer edges support the chain's guidance.
DUB™ | The unit of bottom bracket and oversize crank shaft (⌀ 28.99 mm) is at the heart of the DUB™ (Durable Unified Bottom Bracket) technology, which allows a symbiosis between stiffness and durability. The system approach created by integrating the chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket not only improves durability thanks to an optimized seal, but also raises the performance of the drivetrain to a new level.
Scope of supply:
crank incl. chainrings (without BB cups)
