SRAM Apex 1 Wide Crankset
Best reliable upgrade for gravel riders seeking extra tire clearance.
This setup strips away the complexity of a front derailleur, offering a streamlined, reliable drivetrain that thrives on rougher terrain. The wider stance creates essential clearance for chunky gravel tires, though you sacrifice the tighter gear spacing found on traditional road doubles for the sake of simplicity and off-road capability.
