SRAM Apex Eagle 12-Speed Rear Derailleur Long Cage for 52t MTB Black
$30.80
Description
The SRAM Apex Eagle Rear Derailleur merges precision engineering with versatile performance to deliver seamless gear transitions across demanding terrains and riding styles. Designed specifically for 1x drivetrains, this derailleur ensures rock-solid chain retention even on steep descents or rough trails, while its intuitive shifting mechanism adapts effortlessly to both road and mountain biking environments. Compatible with SRAM’s 12-speed mechanical Apex and Eagle shifters, it pairs seamlessly with Eagle 12-Speed chains for a system that’s as reliable as it is responsive.
At its core lies SRAM’s X-HORIZON technology—a straight parallelogram design that restricts all movement to the horizontal plane. This innovation eliminates “ghost shifting” entirely by preventing unintended gear changes mid-ride and reduces required shift force by up to 15%, making every adjustment smoother and more efficient. The precision-engineered roller bearing clutch further enhances performance by maintaining consistent chain tension across large-range 50t and 52t cassettes, ensuring crisp shifts even under high load or rapid acceleration.
For riders prioritizing convenience, Cage Lock technology simplifies maintenance tasks like wheel swaps or chain adjustments by securely holding the derailleur cage in place during repairs. Whether you’re tackling technical singletrack or long-distance road tours, this derailleur’s blend of durability and user-friendly features makes it ideal for endurance athletes, trail enthusiasts, and commuters seeking a single-ring setup that performs under pressure.
