SRAM Force1 12 Speed Chainset 175mm 42T Chainring

This gravel-ready 12 speed chainset features a stiff carbon crankarm construction, which allows it to deliver durable performance as well as a lower weight on your ride. SRAM has also kitted it out with a high-quality aluminium chainring with X-SYNC technology, which uses its wide/narrow tooth profile to ensure maximum chain control on the most demanding of riding conditions. Thanks to its single-ring design, this chainset offers simplified functionality and an overall lower weight, making it a perfect choice of upgrade for riders who want a superior strength to weight ratio. One final highlight is it’s suitable for use with all SRAM road wide DUB bottom brackets for increased stiffness, longevity and the ability to accommodate the largest of tyres for your 1x gravel machine.

SRAM originated the 1x drivetrain, and the SRAM Force 1 crankset evolves the innovation. It’s lighter, stronger and simpler—non-aero chainrings can now be installed with a single tool.

• Single-ring drivetrain simplifies functionality and reduces weight
• Non-aero chainrings can be installed with a single tool, making gearing changes a breeze
• SRAM X-SYNC™ wide-tooth, narrow-tooth chainring technology provides maximum chain control
• DUB™ bottom bracket adds durability and simplicity
• Can be upgraded to a power meter

Technologies:

X-SYNC: SRAM X-SYNC 1x chainrings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle-shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC chainrings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x drivetrain. Accept no imitation.

DUB: The relationship between bottom bracket spindle and bearing is the core of DUB technology. It’s where stiffness meets durability. SRAM took it a step beyond conventional thinking and made everything simpler—better integrating the relationship between chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket. It’s this approach to developing a complete system that equals better drivetrain performance. Bottom bracket sold separately.
