Targeting the every-man (and woman) who rides bikes to get fit, SRAM has just launched the APEX group with a forgiving (11-32 cassette). For all of you who think you can climb with your faster friends but who actually have to work for a living, the 11-32 could be a the gift you need for 2010. Below is the info from SRAM...we will keep you updated as we find out more.
Press Release:
SRAM Apex is the latest road componentry groupset from SRAM that borrows technologies from SRAM’s Tour de France conquering RED gruppo, including DoubleTap (one lever two shifts), Reach Adjust (for custom lever fi t), Exact Actuation (for consistent and precise shifts), and Zero-Loss shifting (for immediate shift engagement).
The double compact chainrings (50/34) are only the beginning, the innovation that went into making Apex the perfect gruppo for every challenge includes the new long cage rear derailleur (RD) matched perfectly to SRAM’s new PG 1050 11-32 tooth cassette, we call it WiFLi technology…
WiFLi is all you need to know:
Wider - a wider range of gears for every climb and any descent
Faster - two chainrings shift much faster and easier than three
Lighter - as much as 284 grams (11%) less than the most popular road triple (Shimano® 105)
APEX will be available in Spring 2010. Pricing has not been released. For more information, check out www.sram.com
