SRAM RED E1 XPLR Rear Derailleur with CeramicSpeed X Alpha OSPW

SRAM RED E1 XPLR Rear Derailleur with CeramicSpeed X Alpha OSPW

The SRAM RED E1 XPLR Rear Derailleur with CeramicSpeed X Alpha OSPW is a unique offering where we professionally install the CeramicSpeed OSPW onto a new SRAM RED E1 XPLR Rear Derailleur. This gives you a ready-to-use upgrade out of the box. It saves time, ensures proper installation and eliminates the need for additional tools or mechanical work. Just mount the derailleur and start riding with pro-level efficiency!

The RED E1 XPLR AXS Rear Derailleur is made specifically for gravel and SRAM’s 13-speed drivetrain. This means you have plenty of gear range for fast gravel road and technical climbs. Built around SRAM’s UDH interface, this derailleur is free from adjustment screws and bent hangers. This makes set-up easy. It also means that the SRAM RED XPLR Rear Derailleur can handle sticks, rocks, mud and even airport baggage abuse. Like all SRAM Transmission derailleurs, this one uses a Magic Wheel so your drivetrain will continue to run even if debris enters the lower pulley wheel.

To push efficiency even further, we’ve paired this derailleur with the CeramicSpeed X Alpha OSPW. Drivetrain efficiency is crucial, even in off-road riding. Featuring a lightweight carbon-reinforced cage, premium ceramic bearings and a redesigned cage shape, the X Alpha reduces drivetrain drag. This means more of your power is transferred to the wheels and not lost in your drivetrain. This OSPW uses 14T upper and 20T lower oversized pulleys. This minimizes chain articulation which minimizes drag and improves chain life.

CeramicSpeed’s updated cage design not only improves aesthetics, but also makes the derailleur cage stronger. This provides better shifting, especially under load. The Active Debris Remover shields also make it virtually impossible for debris to enter the bearings.

Please note, the SRAM AXS Battery is sold separately.

Considerations

These are both premium components that improve drivetrain efficiency, but come at a premium cost. In addition, we have found that CeramicSpeed OSPWs perform best when they are properly maintained (cleaned and greased), so this setup is best for someone who maintains the condition of their bike’s drivetrain.

Advice From Our Staff

We believe this is a perfect choice for gravel cyclists who are looking to maximize drivetrain efficiency. Our team has never had quieter drivetrains than when using this set up. It’s pricey for sure, but if you’re looking for smoother shifting, reduced drivetrain drag and an improved look of your rear derailleur, this setup delivers.
