RED XPLR AXS - Effortless Resilience. Effortless Precision.
SRAM’s most advanced gravel group, featuring a 13-speed 10-46t range so you’re always in the right gear. Precise shifts with tight jumps between cogs keep you in the gearing sweet spot, and the Full Mount derailleur that fits on frames with the UDH interface ensures this system can take whatever you throw at it.
Fast, Precise Shifting with Simple Setup
No adjustment screws needed: no b-tension screw, no high limit screw, no low limit screw. And the shifting, it’s not just precise, but fast. A big focus and priority in the development of this rear derailleur has been the shift speed. For gravel riders and racers, shift speed is important, and that is something that you will notice when you ride it.
Full Mount Resilience
The RED XPLR AXS 13-Speed Rear Derailleur attaches to frames with a UDH interface, the same interface that MTBs have had for several years. There is no hanger when you use this derailleur. This is what SRAM calls a Full Mount derailleur, which attaches to the UDH interface to eliminate variables by centering the derailleur on the wheel axle – and that means perfect shifting. Fixing the rear derailleur on the axle also opens us up to a design that provides superior impact resistance when things get nasty. No bent hangers after impacts or travel.
