SRAM Force XPLR eTap AXS Wide Disc HRD Flat Mount Gravel groupset Iridescent 1x12
Visually discreet, with a touch of shine - the new Force groupset manages this balancing act with its Iridescent look. Technically, the groupset builds on the previous generation, with a few upgrades from the RED groupset and new technologies. What has remained the same is the great versatility and adaptability of the Force groupset. From the 1x XPLR setup for gravel bikes to the thoroughbred road bike with 2x drivetrain, the Force offers many well thought-out transmission variants. For efficient training, there is a suitable Quarq power meter upgrade for every crank version. With the proven AXS standard, you can adapt the shifting behavior to your needs and integrate AXS components from other groupsets or additional shifters into your setup.
CrankA 1x chainring in combination with a 12-speed cassette with a wide range of gear ratios is the lightest and most efficient drivetrain option for many cycling disciplines. With its lightweight and stiff direct-mount chainring, the Force 1x crank is the perfect starting point for everything from cyclocross bikes to time trial bikes. The SRAM X-Sync tooth profile with alternating thick and thin teeth (narrow-wide), proven in the MTB sector, ensures a secure fit of the chain on the chainring. A laser-engraved finish makes the chainring more resistant and increases durability. You can find retrofit chainrings with 38 to 46 teeth in our store.
The Force carbon crank arms combine low weight and high rigidity. The WIDE version of the crank has a chainline of 47.5 millimetres and offers extra tire clearance on gravel bikes. With the DUB-Wide crankshaft, the crank is compatible with all standard bottom bracket housings with the matching DUB-Wide bottom bracket.
Shift brake lever / HydroHC Hydraulic-Road-Disc (HRD) brakesSmall changes can make a big difference. Introduced with the Rival AXS groupset, the Force shift brake levers have also been given a flatter and slimmer design. The new design offers even more control, especially for small hands, thanks to a larger hand wrap. In contrast to the Rival shifters, the Force version is equipped with lighter carbon brake levers, while the textured shift paddles and rubber grips provide even more control and comfort. The integration of the Force shifters into the AXS platform offers you the option of adapting the shifters to your personal preferences, evaluating your shifting behaviour or carrying out firmware updates via the associated smartphone app. In addition to the freely selectable assignment of the shift buttons, the shifters can also be operated in semi-automatic mode, in which the rear derailleur and front derailleur synchronize independently and you only have to choose between a lighter and heavier gear. Ports for additional shifters (blips) are no longer available. Instead, the shifters can be coupled with up to 3 pairs of SRAM wireless blip shifters. The two-piece brake caliper based on the award-winning HydroHC platform is beyond reproach in terms of braking performance and heat management.
Paceline brake discsThe new Paceline brake rotors take up the elegant design of the eTap AXS Road groupsets. They have a redesigned braking surface with equally redesigned ventilation holes for even smoother and lower-vibration braking performance. The rounded edges on the top of the rotor minimize the risk of injury and comply with the guidelines of the UCI cycling world federation. Another advantage is that they make it easier to install the wheel, as the rounded top prevents jamming in the brake calliper.
XPLR rear derailleur | 44TThe single-speed specific Force XPLR rear derailleur has been specially developed for the needs of modern gravel riders. In combination with the matching XPLR cassette with 10-44 teeth, it gives you enough range to climb any climb.Narrow gear steps on the smaller sprockets help you to maintain your comfortable cadence at high speeds.
The electronic wireless eTap shifting logic ensures intuitive shifting and simple, wireless setup. The integrated Orbit-Fluid vibration damping ensures safe and smooth chain movement on any terrain.Its speed-dependent damping is only activated in the event of rapid vibrations and remains inactive when the rear derailleur moves during shifting operations. The chain guide is supported by derailleur pulleys with SRAM X-Sync tooth profiles. An ANT+ transmitter integrated in the rear derailleur enables communication between your bike computer and the rear derailleur. This allows you to display information on the battery charge status and the current gear in your cockpit. The integration of AXS technology allows you to personalize the shifting behavior in the associated app, while the proven SRAM eTap battery (not included) provides the necessary power to operate the rear derailleur for over 1000 kilometers or around 60 riding hours.
CassetteProven in the mountain bike sector for years, the 10-speed sprocket is now also finding its way onto road bikes. This is made possible by the SRAM XDR freewheel standard. The advantages are obvious: the cassette can be made even lighter with the same bandwidth. Compared to the previous version, the shifting lanes have been further optimized and adapted to the electronic eTap AXS rear derailleur. The result is even faster and smoother shifting. The sprockets are made of tool steel and are connected to each other via pins using the SRAM mini-cluster design. For further weight optimization, the largest sprocket is made of aluminium
ChainThe new SRAM Force chain has been redesigned from the ground up, with a unique flattop plate design that makes the chain narrower and lighter. The resulting greater distance between the outer plates and the sprockets ensures smoother chain running and even more precise shifting. As a positive side effect, the service life of the chain is also increased. This is additionally ensured by a chrome coating on the inside of the plates and the rollers.
Charger/batteriesThe integrated battery on the rear derailleur has a range of over 1000 kilometers. The charge status can be read at any time via an LED light. The batteries are recharged within an hour using the charger supplied.
