Next-gen drivetrain performance powered by the Force E1 Flattop Chain
The SRAM Force E1 Flattop Chain elevates the drivetrain experience for 12-speed road and 13-speed gravel setups with cutting-edge durability, quieter operation, and a refined interface that enhances every shift. Its Flattop profile isn't just a design flex—it's a performance upgrade that allows a narrower chain without compromising strength. The result is a drivetrain that’s smoother, quieter, and ready to log big mileage on the road or in the dirt.
The Force E1 uses Hard Chrome plated inner links and rollers, reducing friction and extending chain life even under high-stress conditions. Thoughtful cut-outs on both inner and outer plates reduce weight while maintaining stiffness and durability. Compatible with both 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR AXS groups, this chain is finished with a solid pin construction and chrome-hardened pins for added resilience.
With its included Flattop PowerLock for simple installation and e-bike compatibility, the Force E1 Flattop Chain offers top-tier shifting performance that holds strong no matter how hard you push your drivetrain.
