Technology
CAGE LOCK
With CAGE LOCK technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal & installation—as well as chain installation—becomes faster & simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack & lock it into place.
ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH
ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability—even through the most punishing terrain. With ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH technology, derailleur bounce & chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision.
X-ACTUATION
Developed specifically for SRAM 1x, X-ACTUATION keeps shifting sharp & consistent across the entire cassette. X-HORIZON The X-HORIZON rear derailleur’s ‘straight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.
Specifications for SRAM Force 1 Rear Derailleur
The SRAM Force 1 crankset brings to cyclocross a game-changing upgrade in performance & reliability by combining the durability, simplicity, & efficiency of SRAM’s Force 22 road combined with our MTB 1x technology, X-SYNC. Besides serious weight savings, this bottom bracket means narrow Q-factor, more ankle clearance, greater bearing durability & stronger crank construction.GXP’s Gutter Seal design cuts friction & weight—improving both feel & performance A variant of the external GXP bottom bracket, Press Fit cuts weight by up to 40 grams & eases installation by allowing you to press the bearing cups into the frame instead of threading them. It requires no change to the crank spindle length & diameter. This is a new design led by SRAM. It’s all the best from BB30 & Press-Fit bottom brackets in one captivating package. This bottom bracket is designed for 30mm spindle cranksets. The key difference with Press Fit 30 is how the bearings are fitted into the frame. Bearings are housed in nylon cups which will be pressed into the frames bottom bracket shell. Press Fit 30 will feature an integrated seal, pre-assembled into the cups, to further prolong bearing life. Frames will need a 46mm inner-diameter bottom bracket shell to accommodate this system. Press Fit 30 for road will require a 68mm wide shell while Press Fit 30 for MTB will require a 73mm wide shell. Advantages: Huge weight savings, narrow Q-factor, more ankle clearance, greater bearing durability, stiffer/stronger crank construction, simple installation. Allows for larger diameter frame tubes increasing frame stiffness. Drawbacks: Still searching.
