Force XPLR Crankset simplifies 1x performance with carbon arms and direct mount chainring
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I installed the Force XPLR Crankset for my gravel setup, and the first thing I noticed was how much lighter and stiffer it felt. I love the 1x configuration—it reduces noise and distractions. With the X-SYNC ring, I don’t worry about dropped chains, even when hammering chunky descents."
The SRAM Force XPLR Crankset is built for the next generation of gravel and all-road riders who demand simplicity, reliability, and a sleek aesthetic. Its 1x configuration reduces mechanical complexity while the lightweight carbon crank arms transfer power efficiently across long miles and rolling terrain. The direct mount system with X-SYNC chainring technology enhances both chain control and aerodynamics—ideal for high-speed gravel or endurance rides.
The Force XPLR is optimized for SRAM’s DUB Wide bottom bracket standard, providing improved stiffness at the spindle and compatibility with modern wide-chainline setups. Riders can choose between 12- and 13-speed drivetrain configurations, and select from a range of crank arm lengths from 160mm to 175mm. The 42T chainring included delivers a balanced gearing setup suitable for steep grades and high-speed flats.
For riders looking to fine-tune their performance, the crankset is also power meter upgradeable. Whether chasing long gravel races, adventuring far from pavement, or refining a lightweight road setup, the Force XPLR offers refined performance and proven SRAM reliability.
