SRAM Force E1 XPLR 1x Crankset

Take your gravel rides to the next level with the SRAM Force E1 XPLR 1x Crankset. Designed for adventure and gravel riding on mixed terrain, this crankset uses carbon fiber crank arms that keep weight low without sacrificing stiffness. The 1x direct mount chainring simplifies your drivetrain by eliminating the need for a front derailleur. It also uses SRAM’S X-SYNC technology to improve chain retention on rough trails and roads. Additionally, this crankset uses a DUB Wide spindle that allows for wider tires and is designed for SRAM AXS XPLR 12- and 13-speed drivetrains.
