Silent, secure 1x shifting for gravel, cyclocross and adventure road bikes. The SRAM Apex 1 BB30 crankset pairs a stiff forged aluminium crank with a 42T X-SYNC chainring engineered to hold the chain on the rough stuff, so you can ditch the front derailleur and ride simpler. This is the 170mm crank length in black.

Highlights

  • 1x-specific crankset with a 42T X-SYNC chainring for exceptional chain retention
  • 170mm crank arm length, black finish
  • BB30/PF30 spindle interface (bottom bracket bearings not included)
  • Compatible with SRAM 10- and 11-speed 1x drivetrains
  • Integrated 4-arm asymmetric spider, 110mm asymmetric BCD

Why a 1x system

Running a single chainring removes the front derailleur and shifter, simplifying setup and reducing the chance of a dropped chain. The patented X-SYNC tooth profile uses tall, square-edged teeth that engage the chain earlier than conventional teeth, while alternating thick and thin teeth grip the chain across its full width. Mud-clearing recesses keep the interface running cleanly when conditions turn ugly.

Built to last

The aluminium crank arms and chainring are matched to an integrated 4-arm asymmetric spider that maximises stiffness-to-weight, so power transfer stays direct under load. The 42T ring is well suited to gravel and all-road riding paired with a wide-range 1x cassette.

Compatibility and fit

This crankset uses a BB30/PF30 spindle interface and requires a frame with a compatible BB30 or PF30 bottom bracket shell. BB30 bearings/bottom bracket are not included and must be sourced separately. It works with SRAM 10- and 11-speed 1x drivetrains and is designed for 130mm road hubs (and 135/142mm road disc hubs with chainstays under 415mm). Confirm your frame's bottom bracket standard and required crank length before ordering.
