Full Mount Technology

The Force XPLR AXS derailleur mounts directly to UDH-compatible frames, eliminating the traditional derailleur hanger. This improves shift consistency, reduces setup complexity and significantly increases resistance to impacts encountered during gravel riding.

AXS Wireless Ecosystem

AXS technology provides wireless communication between drivetrain components, allowing precise shifting and extensive rider customisation through the SRAM AXS application. Riders can configure button functions, monitor battery levels and update firmware.

eTap Shift Logic

The eTap system uses simple controls designed for intuitive operation under race conditions and technical terrain. The clean cockpit layout reduces clutter while improving overall usability.

XPLR 13-Speed Gravel Gearing

The 10-46T cassette delivers a carefully optimised gear range that provides close jumps through most frequently used gears while maintaining excellent climbing capability for steep gravel gradients.

Advanced Chain Management

The derailleur incorporates a powerful clutch mechanism and gravel-specific cage design to improve chain security, reduce chain slap and increase confidence over rough surfaces.
