The Force CX1 crankset is part of a common sense, game-changing upgrade in performance and reliability blending the best of Force22 and SRAM's lauded 1x mountain groups. It features a unidirectional carbon crank arm matched to a forged alloy spider for the best combination of light weight and durability. Chainrings are sold separately so you can get the best ring for your intended use. Rings are available in 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46 teeth to conquer every course from sand dunes to gravel-road assaults.

SRAM's Force CX1 is the only true dedicated single chainring cyclocross system. It is the common sense result of SRAM's mega successful XX1 mountain bike group. Everything good about XX1 is transferred to Force CX1. The single ring, 11-speed drive train is lighter thanks largely to no left shifter and shift cable, front derailleur and only one chainring. CX1 is simpler and tougher. It has a clean look an optimal gear selection. Shifting is very fast and smoother but perhaps best of all, the possibility of chain drop has been virtually eliminated.
