Sram Apex 1 11V road bike levers with calipers

The grips are of good quality and conform to the description. Precision of gear shifting and braking power are on point. Just a shame that the calipers are already mounted on the hoses and bled because I had to disassemble everything to pass the cables internally in my carbon frame and do a complete bleed.

I chose this American brand because I am equipped with a single chainring. And what a surprise it was to see in use that all the characteristics were indeed there! Namely, the good positioning of the chain relative to the cassette sprockets (no creaking has occurred so far), and the "cage lock" position that allows you to remove the rear wheel without difficulty. However, a small downside: the brakes arrived with a slight leak on the front caliper, which Matériel Vélo struggled to cover under warranty, claiming it was due to mishandling. However, I had the assembly done by a professional bike mechanic. Fortunately, everything has been sorted out, Sram France showing its commercial sense. (Translated review)
