Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bottom bracket included with the crankset?
No. The SRAM Force22 crankset is sold without a bottom bracket. It uses the GXP interface, so you'll need a compatible GXP bottom bracket (threaded or press-fit adapter depending on your frame).
Will this crankset work with SRAM Force22 shifters and YAW front derailleur?
Yes. The Force22 crankset is designed to work with Force22 11-speed shifters and the Force22 YAW front derailleur; the X-Glide R chainrings are profiled for smooth indexing with that system.
What crank arm lengths are available?
SRAM offers the Force22 in 170mm, 172.5mm and 175mm arm lengths. Choose based on your fit—170mm for smaller riders or higher cadence riders, 175mm for taller riders or those who prefer a longer lever arm.
What chainring combinations can I get?
The Force22 is available in compact 34/50 (BCD 110) and standard 39/53 (BCD 130) combinations, giving options for climbing-focused or higher-speed setups.
How much does the crankset weigh?
Manufacturer-claimed weight for the crankset is approximately 715g (varies by arm length and ring configuration). Retail boxed weight and variant listings can show ~808g depending on packaging and included hardware.
Can I use this crankset on an electronic groupset?
Mechanically, the chainrings and physical fit are compatible with electronic shifters, but for ideal shifting performance match the crankset with SRAM 11-speed road components (Force22/Red 11sp). Electronic shifting systems from other brands may require tuning.
Buying Guide
When choosing a road crankset, balance weight, stiffness and compatibility. Select crank arm length based on your inseam and pedalling style—shorter arms for higher cadence or smaller riders, longer for leverage on climbs. Decide between compact (34/50) or standard (39/53) chainrings based on the terrain you ride most. Confirm your frame's bottom bracket standard before purchase. The Force22 uses a GXP spindle, so pick a GXP-compatible bottom bracket or the correct adapter for press-fit shells. Finally, pair the crankset with SRAM 11-speed chains and a Force22/YAW front derailleur to get the shifting as the designers intended.
