Description
SRAM RED XPLR AXS Rear Derailleur – Built for Gravel Dominance
Engineered for Unforgiving Terrain
The RED XPLR AXS derailleur conquers gravel chaos with a hangerless Full Mount design, eliminating weak points for unmatched durability on dirt roads, rocky trails, or urban adventures. Its MTB-inspired spring clutch locks the chain in place during aggressive descents or sudden load shifts—perfect for endurance riders tackling mixed surfaces.
Zero-Hassle Performance
Say goodbye to alignment headaches: tool-free installation and no adjustment screws streamline setup (requires UDH-compatible frames). The carbon cage paired with ceramic bearings reduces friction by 30% compared to standard steel models*, ensuring lightning-fast shifts from 10t to 46t cassettes under heavy loads.
Debris-Proof Reliability
Gravel’s hidden threats meet their match:
– Magic Wheel Technology: Self-cleaning lower pulley expels mud/sand without chain drop
– Impact-Resistant Housing: Survives trail debris and accidental drops better than traditional designs
– Serviceable Components: Replace worn clutch springs or bearings in minutes (no special tools)
Smart Compatibility
Seamlessly integrates with SRAM’s AXS ecosystem using your existing battery (sold separately). Works flawlessly with XPLR 13-speed drivetrains and Flattop chains while offering wider tire clearance than standard road derailleurs—ideal for 40-50mm gravel tires on adventure bikes.
