The CyclingCeramic SRAM OSPW XPLR 13-speed is an oversized pulley wheel (OSPW) cage designed for SRAM Rival, Force and Red XPLR 13-speed gravel drivetrains.

It pairs 14/20-tooth pulleys with hybrid ceramic bearings to cut drivetrain friction and improve pedalling smoothness. The cage is CNC-machined, hand-assembled in France, and supplied pre-assembled and pre-greased.

Useful features

• Compatible with SRAM XPLR 13-speed Rival, Force and Red
• Compatible with oversize Garbaruk cassettes, including the 10-52 configurations specified by the brand
• Oversize 14/20-tooth pulleys
• Hybrid ceramic bearings
• CNC-machined cage
• Maintenance oil included, with servicing recommended roughly every 4,000 km
• SRAM removal tool included
• Can be installed with the original chain following the specified procedure

Installation requires following the SRAM UDH procedure and the recommended torque settings. CyclingCeramic specifies a cage tightening torque of around 3.5 to 5 Nm. A micro-adjust via the SRAM AXS app may be required depending on the set-up.

Tested by GravelPassion

In our test, the cage stood out for its finish, looks, and a clear sense of stiffness once correctly adjusted. With a Garbaruk 10-52 cassette, it works well, but the set-up demands greater precision, particularly on the 10-tooth sprocket. This product is mainly for riders looking to optimise an already high-end SRAM XPLR 13 build.
