Description
The SRAM RED 1 AXS Crankset redefines performance for road cyclists prioritizing simplicity and precision in flat or race-focused terrain. Engineered for electronic shifting systems, this sleek carbon crankset combines minimalist design with cutting-edge functionality—ideal for riders seeking a lightweight, responsive drivetrain without compromising speed or control. Its single-chainring setup streamlines maintenance while maintaining a tight gearing range perfect for scenarios where rapid acceleration and consistent power transfer are critical.

What sets it apart? The RED 1 AXS is built to evolve with your needs: easily upgrade to a power meter (sold separately) to track performance metrics in real time. At 167.5mm length and a DUB spindle interface, it balances power delivery with ergonomic efficiency—crafted for riders aiming to shave seconds off their personal bests.
