SRAM Force XPLR E1 AXS:

Uncompromising performance. The Force XPLR AXS seamlessly combines durability and precision in a lightweight and fast gravel package. The design and technology of the SRAM Force XPLR AXS are based on the high-end Red XPLR. The wireless AXS technology is complemented by improved ergonomics, effortless braking and enhanced AXS integration. The Force XPLR AXS represents a professional-level drivetrain that is lightweight and significantly more affordable.

Sram Force AXS rear derailleur, RD-FRC-E-D2:

The SRAM Force AXS XPLR Gravel rear derailleur has been made AXS-compatible for easy customisation and is designed for AXS systems. The advanced Orbit chain management system ensures quiet and reliable operation, regardless of the terrain. The rear derailleur is also faster, as it features larger X-Sync pulleys, ceramic bearings, improved motors and signal transmitters, all of which enhance performance in every respect. Wireless connectivity via the AIREA network ensures a quick and clean installation.

• AXS-compatible for easy setup, quick customisation and high reliability
• Compatible with 1x drivetrains
• Compatible with 10–44-tooth cassettes
• Chain management technology ensures a quiet and secure drivetrain

Sram Force AXS disc brake, ED-FORCE-E1:

Completely new lever ergonomics – now also available for Force. The system features stiffer brake calipers, the ability to brake with just one finger from both the lower and upper handlebar positions, bonus buttons and a texture that makes it easier to locate and operate the buttons and levers. These improvements are the result of over four years of feedback from a wide variety of riders and deliver a new level of comfort and control for an even broader range of cyclists. Furthermore, this virtually eliminates the risk of pinching your fingers during hard braking. Less effort, less hand fatigue, effortless operation and greater control.

• Braking with just one finger – whether in the top grip or sprint position
• AXS-compatible for easy setup, quick customisation and high reliability
• eTap shifting logic for intuitive shifting
• Bonus Button enables control of ANT+ devices or provides an additional shifting option
• Optimised grip shape to suit a wide range of hand sizes
• Carbon brake levers for low weight
• Textured shift paddles and grip rubbers for greater control and comfort
• Bleeding Edge technology for easy and clean
• bleeding Handlebar width adjustment for personalisation to suit different hand sizes
• The new brake calipers with increased clearance ensure friction-free operation.

Fully wireless electronic shifting combined with fully hydraulic disc brakes. The award-winning eTap shift logic combined with the connectivity of AXS. The SRAM Force AXS eTap shift levers build on this foundation and combine it with the latest technologies. What’s more, they are now even easier to customise, from tailoring shift sequences to adjusting lever reach. SRAM Force AXS Disc brake-shift levers feature racing-car-inspired paddle shift logic that virtually eliminates accidental upshifts when downshifting, whilst keeping shifting precise, fast and simple. The ErgoBlade levers and large SRAM eTap shift paddles offer reliable control and good feedback.

SRAM Force XPLR AXS PWR DUB Power Crank FC-FRC-1WP-1:

Measuring your power and keeping track of your data has just become even more precise. The Force XPLR AXS power metre is discreetly hidden within the DUB bottom bracket axle, allowing you to collect the data you need for your training progress without anyone noticing. The power meter has a longer battery life, is lighter and remains highly reliable and precise even in challenging weather conditions. Proven reliability and accuracy from Quarq combined with the Force AXS carbon crankset arms. The new power meter platform is fully integrated into the DUB spindle. The spindle-based DUB-PWR unit measures power on the left side to calculate total watts. The long battery life, over 400 hours, ensures a full season of riding. Waterproof, IPX7 rated to 1 metre for 30 minutes, and lightweight, weighing less than 40 g more than a standard crankset

• The axle-based unit measures power on the left side to calculate the total wattage.
• Aero chainring options with 44 or 46 teeth
• Long battery life (over 400 hours) is enough for a full season on the bike
• User-replaceable AAA lithium battery
• Waterproof (IPX7 rated to 1 metre for 30 minutes)
• Available in crank lengths of 160 mm, 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm and 175 mm

SRAM X-Sync chainring technology:

The X-Sync chainring technology, featuring wide and narrow teeth, offers maximum chain control. SRAM’s engineers analysed the performance and wear of thousands of previous chainrings to achieve this. The aim was to create a chainring that enhances performance under all riding conditions. The result: the chainring teeth are longer and shaped like a saw blade to grip the chain perfectly. The chainring thus increases chain tension and pedalling efficiency. At the same time, friction, chain noise and wear are reduced.

Sram Force XPLR Cassette, XG-1271-D2

The Force AXS XG 1271 Mini Cluster cassette offers a 440 per cent gear range. Perfectly matched to the SRAM AXS 1XPLR 12-speed drivetrain and chain, the cassettes deliver outstanding shifting performance thanks to improved shifters. They are lightweight, quiet and offer a clear performance advantage. The Mini Cluster cassette combines small sprockets, milled from a single block of steel, with additional sprockets that are individually assembled. The largest sprocket is made of aluminium. The result: a lightweight, affordable and robust 12-speed cassette

SRAM DUB Axle and Bottom Bracket System:

The DUB version of the SRAM cranksets is suitable for all standard bottom bracket shells. You will find the matching bottom brackets below, along with the installation dimensions. The axles have a diameter of 29 mm. Axle play is adjustable via a preloader. The SRAM DUB road bike cranksets have a completely proprietary standard and are only compatible with DUB road bike bottom brackets, not with other bottom brackets. SRAM and Wheels Manufacturing offer compatible bottom brackets for almost every bottom bracket standard.

DUB Wide Chainline:

SRAM offers DUB road and gravel crankarms in DUB Road and DUB Road Wide versions.

• The DUB Road cranks have a chainline of 45 mm and a spindle length of 106 mm
• The DUB Road Wide cranks have a chainline of 47.5 mm and a spindle length of 112 mm

SRAM AXS batteries:

Batteries are used on the rear derailleur and the front derailleur. These batteries are interchangeable. So, for example, if the rear derailleur runs out of power halfway through a ride, you can shift to your preferred chainring at the front, swap the two batteries, and then continue riding without worry. The batteries have a capacity of approximately 1,000 kilometres or 60 hours of riding time. The charging time for a battery is around 45 minutes. In addition, all components of the SRAM Red eTap groupset are equipped with LED indicators. Green means the battery is fully charged, and red indicates that there is still sufficient capacity remaining. Only when the LED starts flashing red does the charge level approach the end, leaving around 5 per cent capacity remaining.

SRAM AXS technology

AXS is the electronic integration platform that connects SRAM’s electronic bike components and software. The AXS components communicate wirelessly using 128-bit encryption. Every time a groupset comprising, for example, shift levers, a front derailleur and a rear derailleur is paired, a unique code is generated to prevent interference with other riders. The SRAM AXS app allows you to view the battery status, adjust component settings, customise controllers, receive maintenance reminders and update the firmware. This app is available free of charge from the App Store for iOS and Android.

Flat Mount Standard:

The new Flat Mount caliper standard for road bike brakes reduces weight and offers a significantly sleeker look. With the Flat Mount standard, the rear caliper sits directly on the chainstay, with a bolt spacing of 35 mm; no adapter is required for caliper mounting. The bolts pass through the chainstay from below directly into the brake caliper. A flat adapter is still required on the fork; the fork mount has a bolt spacing of 75 mm and the brake caliper is the same as that used on the rear wheel. The adapter is screwed onto the rear of the fork leg, with the brake sitting directly on the adapter. By flipping the adapter over, the available brake disc sizes can be changed between 140 and 160 mm.
