SRAM Force 1 Crankset
Best lightweight upgrade for dedicated gravel and cyclocross racers.
This is the ultimate setup for riders who value simplicity and chain security over the complexity of a front derailleur. The carbon construction delivers a stiff, responsive ride, though you sacrifice the gear range of a 2x system for the clean, reliable performance of a dedicated 1x drivetrain.
