SRAM came out with a genius groupset when they released the Eagle and XPLR compatible Apex shifters and drivetrain. For those not wanting electronic shifting, or not up for the cost of electronic, the Apex Mechanical drivetrain allows for all of the gear range and braking of the AXS groupsets, but with the simplicity and price break of mechanical. We worked hard on this build spec to reduce cost wherever possible while maintaining the highest standard of function, just the same as we would with our more expensive builds. This build can also be done with XPLR gear ratios by request.

This build is inherently lighter weight due to the lack of cassette and derailleur, and is helped by the lightweight Rodeo 3.0X wheels, Repente Quasar 2.0 saddle, and Ritchey components.
