Product Details

Overview & Technology

SRAM Force1 Carbon Crankset pairs a full carbon fibre crank with SRAM's proven GXP spindle interface and an X-Sync chainring to deliver a stiff, light, single-ring drivetrain solution for road riding. With a claimed weight of 679g (complete crankset) and a 110 BCD, this unit balances durability and performance for racers and fast road riders who want the simplicity of a 1x setup. The crank uses a 24/22mm spindle diameter across the GXP interface to give predictable bearing preload and smooth power transfer. The included 42T X-Sync chainring is shaped for precise tooth engagement and improved chain retention on 11-speed drivetrains, while the carbon construction reduces rotating mass for snappy acceleration.

Key Features

Materials and construction: carbon fibre crank arms and spider for a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, precision layup to resist flex under sprint loads and repeated hard efforts. The GXP spindle interface provides a long history of reliable service and simple bearing serviceability. • X-Sync 42T chainring included — narrow/wide tooth profile for superior retention on 1x road builds. • GXP interface (24/22mm) — fits SRAM GXP bottom brackets (BB not included). • BCD 110mm — compatible with a wide range of 1x chainring replacements and aftermarket options. • Compact chainline 45.5mm — optimised for road drivetrain spacing and chain wrap. • Pedal thread 9/16" — industry standard for road pedals. • Available crank lengths — 170, 172.5 and 175mm to suit rider preference.

Fit & Compatibility

Bottom bracket is not included. The Force1 crankset uses SRAM's GXP spindle, so you will need a compatible GXP bottom bracket in the correct shell width (models listed with 68mm shell in our variants). The spindle is 24/22mm and requires the matching GXP bearings for correct preload and longevity. Chainline is 45.5mm — select frame and BB spacers accordingly for optimal shifting and drivetrain wear. The X-Sync chainring is built for 11-speed drivetrains and works with SRAM 10- and 11-speed chains, though it's sized and profiled for best results on 11-speed systems. BCD 110 gives access to many aftermarket and SRAM replacement rings if you want a different tooth count for climbing or top-speed tuning.

Who It's For

The Force1 carbon crankset is aimed at road riders who want the simplicity and weight savings of a dedicated 1x setup without sacrificing stiffness for sprints and sustained efforts. It's a great choice for criterium racers, aggressive club riders, and gravel riders who prefer a road-optimized chainline and compact 42T gearing. If you want a lightweight, stiff crankset that keeps your drivetrain simple and durable while letting you swap chainrings on a 110 BCD spider, the Force1 is a strong contender. Note that riders needing integrated BB systems like BB30 or PF30 will need appropriate adapters or a different crankstandard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this crankset include the bottom bracket?

No. The SRAM Force1 crankset is sold without a bottom bracket. It uses the GXP interface, so you'll need a compatible GXP bottom bracket in the correct shell width (our variants list 68mm) to install it.

Can I use this crankset with 10-speed chains?

Yes. The X-Sync chainring is compatible with SRAM 10- and 11-speed chains, though the ring is profiled for optimal performance with 11-speed drivetrains. Expect the best shifting and retention on an 11-speed setup.

What crankarm length should I choose?

Choose crankarm length based on rider height, leg length and riding style — 170mm for smaller or cadence-focused riders, 172.5mm for the average rider, and 175mm for taller riders or those who favor leverage. If unsure, consult a bike fit professional or use height-to-crank charts as a guide.

Is the included chainring narrow-wide for chain retention?

Yes. The included 42T X-Sync ring uses a narrow/wide tooth profile and SRAM's X-Sync geometry to improve chain retention and reduce drop in 1x applications.

Will this fit my BB30 or PF30 frame?

The Force1 uses a GXP spindle — BB30 or PF30 frames require an adapter or a specific bottom bracket solution that accepts GXP spindles. Check with your frame manufacturer or ask our tech team for the correct adapter.

What torque specs and installation tips should I follow?

Follow SRAM's printed torque figures from the crankset manual for the crank bolts and chainring bolts. Use recommended grease and threadlocker where specified, and ensure proper bearing preload on the GXP bottom bracket during installation. If you don't have a torque wrench or experience, have a qualified mechanic fit the crank.

Buying Guide

When choosing a crankset, consider crankarm length, chainring tooth count and bottom bracket interface first. The Force1's 110 BCD gives flexibility to change chainrings for different terrain, while the GXP spindle dictates your bottom bracket choice. Match chainring size to your riding: a 42T works well for fast road courses and flatter gravel where simplicity and chain retention matter. Also weigh weight versus durability: carbon cranksets like the Force1 are lighter and stiffer than many alloy options, improving acceleration and power transfer, but ensure correct installation and maintenance of GXP bearings to get the best lifespan from the unit.
