When you want your bike to do everything, you need the gears to match. Apex XPLR hits the sweet spot, offering smooth jumps over a big gear range, with the added security and simplicity of a 1x drivetrain and the quiet confidence of hydraulic braking. Rapid and reliable, the wide-range gearing gives you the freedom to go full-gas on gravel, bikepack into the unknown or enjoy a casual cruise.

Wheelset

Designed to enhance the ride-anywhere attitude of any gravel machine, Mavic’s gravel-dedicated Allroad 1 Disc wheels give you the confidence to tackle the toughest terrains with smooth control. Paired with a tyre designed to adapt to varied terrain, Pirelli’s Cinturato Gravel tyre features a reinforced tubeless-ready carcass, and enhanced puncture protection to resist lateral cuts and foreign object penetration. Tightly packed knobs provide grip when you need it and speed when you don’t.
