SRAM CX1 Carbon Crankset – Precision for Cyclocross & Rough Terrain

Engineered for cyclocross racers and gravel riders who demand stiffness and chain retention, the SRAM CX1 Carbon Crankset combines lightweight performance with rugged durability. Its carbon fiber arms with structural foam core deliver exceptional strength while keeping weight minimal—ideal for aggressive off-road sprints and technical climbs.

Key Features:

  • Optimized Chain Retention: Tall, alternating narrow/wide tooth profile grips the chain securely, even on bumpy trails or muddy courses.
  • Enhanced Stiffness: Hidden chainring bolts thread directly into the crank arm, reducing flex for efficient power transfer.
  • Cyclocross-Specific Geometry: 145mm Q-factor and 172.5mm crank length balance stability and pedaling efficiency.
  • Broad Compatibility: Fits BB30/PF30/BBright bottom brackets and works with 10/11-speed drivetrains (42T chainring included).

Why Choose the CX1?
