Sram Force AXS rear derailleur RD-FRC-E-E1:

The resilience of Full Mount, no bent derailleur hangers after crashes, knocks or rough handling whilst travelling. No more adjustment screws. Just fast, precise shifting – specially developed for gravel riding. The 1x-specific Force XPLR AXS rear derailleur offers incredible chain control, whilst the straight cage design prevents dirt or heavy loads from pushing this derailleur into the wheel. This 1x-specific component is robust and built to withstand just about anything.

• 1x-specific for use with the 10-46-tooth XPLR
• 13-speed cassette and only with flat-top chains
• The hanger-free interface and full-mount attachment enable the most precise shifting and ultimate protection against impacts
• Simple setup, with no adjustment screws
• Replaceable and repairable parts
• AXS-compatible for easy setup, quick customisation and high reliability
• Compatible with 1x13-speed drivetrains
• Larger X-SYNC rear derailleur pulleys for greater efficiency

Full Mount, UDH mounting:

A Full-Mount rear derailleur is fitted to frames with a UDH interface. Centring on the wheel axle/thru-axle creates a system with no weak points under load. As it is always in the same position relative to the cassette, no adjustment screws are required during setup. Prepare. Attach. Tighten. The full-mount rear derailleur can be installed in three simple steps without special tools.

The UDH interface, the universal derailleur hanger, refers to a universal design for derailleur mounting used by various brands. The derailleur is mounted using the thru-axle and has a precisely defined position. Furthermore, this system is significantly more stable and therefore less prone to faults.

UDH frames are equipped with a hangerless interface to which full-mount rear derailleurs can be fitted. UDH derailleur hangers are also available for fitting conventional rear derailleurs.

Sram Force AXS disc brake, ED-FRC-E1

Completely new lever ergonomics – now also available for the 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.

Power measurement crankset Sram Force XPLR AXS FC-FRC-1WP-E1:

Measuring your power and keeping track of your data has just become even more precise. The Force XPLR AXS power meter is discreetly hidden within the DUB bottom bracket axle, allowing you to collect the data you need for your training progress completely unnoticed. 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:

Sram’s X-Sync chainrings ensure maximum performance and durability. The long Sram X-Sync tooth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangular teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as the rounded, slanted edges, aid chain guidance. To deliver the best possible performance even on muddy terrain, the X-Sync chainrings feature recesses to clear dirt and mud away from the inner chain links and rollers. Manufactured in Germany, the X-Sync chainrings are a key component of SRAM’s single-chainring drivetrain.

SRAM DUB Axle 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. SRAM DUB road bike cranksets have their own unique standard and are only compatible with DUB road bike bottom brackets, not with other bottom brackets. SRAM and Wheels Manufacturing offer suitable bottom brackets for almost every bottom bracket standard.

DUB Wide chainline:

SRAM offers the DUB Road and DUB Gravel crankarms in the DUB Road Wide version:

• 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 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 carry on riding without a 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 behaviour, 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 for 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.
