SRAM Force XPLR AXS Rear Derailleur: Precision-Driven Performance
Engineered for cyclists who demand seamless transitions between urban commutes and rugged trails, this 1x-specific derailleur combines SRAM’s AXS ecosystem with battle-tested durability. Ideal for gravel road enthusiasts and trail riders seeking a low-maintenance setup, it supports 10-44T (enduro) or 10-36T (cross-country) cassettes without cluttering your frame.
Key Innovations

– Orbit Chain Guide: Patented lateral restraint system reduces chain slap by 40% on technical descents while maintaining ±2mm chain retention precision
– X-SYNC 2.0 Pulleys: Dual-bearing 11-tooth lower pulley increases efficiency by 15% compared to standard designs, rated for 50k+ km of mixed-surface use
Optimized Riding Scenarios
✔️ Gravel Grinder Championships: Smooth micro-adjustments over uneven surfaces
✔️ Enduro Rides: Maintains chain tension during 3+ hour back-to-back climbs
✔️ Commuter Hybrids: Silent operation through city potholes and train crossings
