Small changes can make a big difference. SRAM optimized the Force AXS hood shape to provide increased finger wrap for more hand sizes, so you can stay secure sprinting for town lines, committing to the rut in a muddy CX race, or chattering down a long gravel descent.
What hasn't changed is the power and modulation of SRAM's acclaimed hydraulic disk brakes. Intuitive shift logic and easy-to-find shift paddles mean these controls really sparkle.
The Force AXS road collection is riding at its finest. With its one-piece 2x front chainrings and a new front derailleur cage design, Force brings a new level of precision to front shifts. Add to that sophisticated carbon finishes and refined shift/brake ergonomics, and it's no wonder Force is at home on the world's most inspiring bikes, out there on the world's most epic roads.
Force XPLR AXS changes the equation for terrain that has ever-changing variables. With its wide range 10-44T cassette compatibility, whatever you get into, you're good. It's the group that's more adept than ever before, for riders defining gravel for themselves.
For precise front shifts, angle is everything. Force AXS features a Yaw cage design that rotates as it shifts to provide access to the full cassette range without rub. Yaw eliminates the need for shifter trim, enabling the most direct and precise front shifts no matter where you are on the cassette.
Force's integrated chainring design eliminates flex and ring deflection during hard shifts, while simultaneously decreasing overall weight. Proof that less can deliver exponentially more.
Refined shifter paddle shape offers more versatility and clearance for all hand positions, whether paired with traditional road drops or flared, new-school gravel bars. A slimmer hood shape works more comfortably with a wider range of hand sizes, while unidirectional carbon brake levers offer a stiffer feel, retaining hidden reach adjustment to better fit your hands.
By integrating power measurement into the chainrings, SRAM produced their lightest, stiffest and most accurate power meter ever. Accurate to within +/- 1.5% of power output regardless of climate conditions. Left/Right leg power balance measurement for the ultimate in detailed, actionable ride data. Spindle-based power measurement cleanly integrates for stealthy data on 1x and 43/30 2x chainrings. Lightweight, waterproof design features 400+ hour battery life for a full season of measured performance on a single AAA lithium battery.
Whatever the tempo or terrain, you'll find your perfect cadence with Force. 10-28, 10-30, 10-33 and 10-36 cassettes feature more 1-tooth progressions than any other cassettes out there, providing you the control to fine tune your effort. When the road turns to gravel, wider gearing helps. The 440% range of the XPLR cassette provides smooth gear progressions on variable terrain, while tight jumps on the high end ensure you can still drill it on asphalt when the time comes. For riders tackling steep gravel climbs, the 520% range of the Eagle 1x cassette means you've got the gears to do it. The Force 43/30T 2x crankset opens the doors to all sorts of all-road possibilities.
With Reach Adjustment, no matter your hand size, finger length, or positioning preference, brake feel is always yours to define. More than just contemporary esthetics, Paceline rotors feature a brake track vent design that delivers smooth, quiet braking performance and a consistent brake feel. UCI compliant rounded edges mean you're ready to go when things get fast.
AXS puts you in even more control of Force with customized component behavior, battery level notifications, and firmware functionality upgrades. Pair AXS with a head unit, and AXS Web provides specific ride data on shifting, gear use, power zones and more. You tell Force how you want it to work, Force tells you how everything is working.
