SRAM Force E1 2x Road Crankset
The SRAM Force E1 2x Road Crankset features carbon fiber crank arms and one-piece chainrings resulting in a lightweight, high performance road crankset. These crank arms use SRAM’s DUB spindle to make a more durable crankset that is also lighter than most 24 mm spindles. This crankset is available with 46/33T, 48/35T and 50/37T chainrings. These use SRAM’s X-Range technology so you have proper gearing on the flats, climbs and descents. This crankset is available in a wide range of crank lengths, including as short as 160 mm, which means you can choose the best crank length for your bike fit. Additionally, the Force E1 crank arms are designed so you can easily upgrade to a SRAM power meter in the future.
Product Details
Key Features of the Force E1 Road Crankset
- One‑Piece 2x Chainrings: Stiffer than ever before, these chainrings provide crisp shifting, even under load.
- X‑Range Gearing: Smoother transitions between gears which means your cadence stays steady.
- Carbon Fiber Crank Arms: Lightweight and stiff, offering better power transfer.
- Power Meter Ready: Works with SRAM power meters if you want to add a power meter in the future.
Compatibility
This SRAM Force crankset is compatible with 12-speed road drivetrains and SRAM DUB bottom brackets. See Compatibility tab for more details.
Considerations
This crankset is SRAM’s mid-tier offering which means there are both more affordable and lighter options. SRAM Rival cranksets use aluminum crank arms and are cheaper while SRAM RED cranksets offer even lighter crank arms in more crank lengths.
Advice From Our Staff:
We believe this is a great road crankset for riders who want performance advantages without the SRAM RED price. This crankset is available with most chainring sizes that riders need and the use of carbon fiber crank arms help balance performance with its price.
