The Apex Eagle Has Landed - New Groupset Options for Curve's Steel Complete Bikes

You may have seen that SRAM recently released their 12-speed Apex Eagle mechanical system. It's an affordable option for those who are more price conscious, but still offers an awesome groupset package. In fact, it's almost like SRAM bugged Curve, learned what our ideal groupset was while snooping on us, and delivered our dream adventure bike drivetrain. 1x up front, a super-wide gear range with a 10-52 cassette and MECHANICAL shifting for those of use who are not ready for robots to take over the planet. Yes!

Mechanical 12-speed is a first for SRAM, and the new Apex system is compatible with all of SRAM’s 12-speed offerings across road, gravel and MTB.

Curve has been lucky to secure a small number of these Apex systems, and we're offering two new complete bike options: one for our Kevin of Steel and the other for our new GMX+ Steel.

We didn't just lazily whack Apex on these bikes. No. We selected the best of the Apex range and blended it with the ever-reliable Rival and GX level products, resulting in super reliable builds at a more affordable price. We only ever sell the builds that we want to ride ourselves. We've specified upgrades where they matter. For example, these builds include the XG 1275 Eagle 10-52T cassette as well as Rival and GX cranksets for the Kevin of Steel and GMX+ Steel, respectively. 

So what do these complete offerings look like, and what will they cost?
