SRAM Force E1 XPLR DUB Crank Arms

SRAM Force E1 XPLR DUB Crank Arms

The SRAM Force E1 XPLR DUB Crank Arms are lighter and stiffer than ever before. These carbon crank arms are 60 grams lighter than the previous version and continue to use SRAM’s 8-bolt mounting interface. This XPLR version is made for gravel bikes, using SRAM’s DUB Wide spindle for gravel chainlines. In addition, the Force E1 crank arms are available in sizes from 160 mm to 175 mm and fit DUB bottom brackets.

Product Details

Key Features of the SRAM Force E1 XPLR Crank Arms

• Lighter Than Ever Before: They are 60 grams lighter than the previous version due to a new carbon lay-up.
• DUB Wide Spindle: Designed specifically for frames that use gravel chainlines, ideal for 1x setups.
• 8-Bolt Mounting Interface: An 8-bolt interface means you have a wide variety of options for chainrings and power meters.

Compatibility

The SRAM Force Crank Arms are compatible with chainrings and power meters that use SRAM’s 8-bolt interface. This XPLR crankset uses a DUB Wide spindle. See Compatibility tab for more information

Considerations

Because this is SRAM’s mid-tier crank arm offering, they also offer gravel crank arms that are lighter and crank arms that are more affordable (but heavier). RED crank arms are the top tier version, while Rival is aluminum but more affordable.

Advice From Our Staff

These crank arms have an updated design and are even lighter than the previous generation Force D2 XPLR crank arms. We recommend these to riders who are looking to save weight without upgrading to a RED crankset. We are big fans of these crank arms because they are performance oriented without breaking the bank. They also use an 8-bolt interface which makes them compatible with a large number of chainrings and power meters. We sell more Force cranks than RED or Rival combined.

SRAM XPLR Crank Arm Comparison

Other Versions to Consider

SRAM Force E1 DUB Crank Arms: We also offer the SRAM Force E1 Crank Arms. These use the same 8-bolt interface and DUB spindle, but are designed for road bikes.

SRAM RED E1 XPLR Crank Arms: We also sell the SRAM RED E1 Crank Arms which use the same spindle and 8-bolt interface, but are lighter and stiffer. The RED cranks are SRAM’s highest-end crank arms, so they are also more expensive than the Force crank arms.
