Description
When you choose to ride, advancement means having a group that's always ready. Apex 1® is that group. The Apex® 11-speed mechanical shift-brake control gives you all the gears you need in the palm of your hand. It's technology that makes cycling easier-so you can tune into the experience and build on it.
Features:
- ErgoFit™ design from SRAM RED® improves grip and finger wrap
- Individual Reach Adjust of brake lever and shift paddle for a perfect fit
- Zero Loss™ means immediate engagement of your rear derailleur as soon as you touch the shifter
- Durable, forged aluminum lever blade with laser texture for a positive touch
Technology:
- Double Tap: DoubleTap makes changing gears easier and faster, eliminating the cumbersome and awkward engagement associated with two-lever systems. DoubleTap handles up- and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars
- ErgoDynamics: Longer brake levers, independent reach adjust for the brake and shift levers, and optimized hood shape give riders of any size comfort and easy access to the controls
- EXACT ACTUATION: When we launched our road technology from scratch we reapplied our MTB proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel : derailleur movement). EA helps to simplify and stabilize the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing, and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up—and it stays that way
- Reach Adjust: Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone
- ZERO LOSS: ZERO LOSS simply means, well, zero loss—when you push on the lever, for an upshift or down shift, the cable is engaged instantly—zero loss of movement. There is no middle-ground where you're waiting for the shift to come. Gear changes are instant and precise
