Sram Red XPLR 13-speed groupset for Gravel launched

SRAM RED XPLR AXS, the most high-end Gravel groupset, offers 13 speeds and a 10-46 tooth range to ensure you always find the right gear. Precise shifts with close gear ratios guarantee adequate gearing, and the Full Mount derailleur, which mounts to frames using the UDH interface, ensures the system’s perfect resistance to all conditions. One-finger braking and significant weight reduction also allow the RED XPLR AXS groupset to tackle climbs and descents, concentrating all effort on pedaling.

Rear Derailleur
The RED XPLR AXS rear derailleur will be able to handle just about anything Gravel can inflict on a bike. Its Full Mount design will allow it to face all the rocks it encounters and be tortured by, thanks to mounting on derailleur hanger-less interfaces, for a transmission as reliable and robust as possible. And thanks to the absence of adjustment screws, installation is simpler than ever. The shock-resistant Magic Wheel pulley, meanwhile, will keep the chain moving at all times despite branches crossing its path. Specifically designed for Gravel, this 1x groupset focuses on shifting precision and chain management on all terrains and in all conditions.

Cassette
When the terrain becomes technical or the pace quickens, a good gear range to keep pedaling is necessary, as well as the best possible gear spacing between speeds. The 460% gear range of the RED XPLR 13-speed cassette offers the right gears for climbs, as well as close spacing for the most furious sprints. Shifts are high quality even on rough roads thanks to optimized adjustment on each cog, all with a cassette weighing only 288 g.
