SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 is a wireless 1x13-speed gravel groupset built around the Full Mount rear derailleur and a 10-46T XDR cassette. It takes the same gravel-specific architecture as Rival XPLR and adds carbon crank arms, a carbon and aluminium derailleur cage and carbon brake lever blades, saving weight across the build. It is designed for gravel racing, long-distance mixed-surface riding and bikepacking on UDH-equipped frames.
Full Mount Rear Derailleur
Mounts directly to the frame's UDH interface and centres on the rear axle, with no derailleur hanger to bend or misalign
No limit screws or hanger variance – setup is quicker and shifting stays precise
Straight cage design keeps the derailleur clear of the wheel under impact or heavy loading
Carbon and aluminium cage for strength at low weight
Clutch keeps the chain secure and quiet on rough surfaces
Replaceable and serviceable parts
E1 Levers and Brakes
E1 lever shape shared with RED E1, with a sculpted hood and curved carbon lever blade
Reduced lever effort makes one-finger braking practical from both the hoods and the drops
Stiffer Flat Mount callipers for consistent power and control in all conditions
Levers control both shifting and braking, communicating wirelessly with the derailleur
Carbon Crankset
Carbon Force XPLR arms are significantly lighter than the aluminium Rival equivalent while staying stiff under load
Crank boots protect the arm ends from pedal and rock strikes
DUB Wide spindle optimises the 1x chainline for the 13-speed cassette on frames with longer chainstays
8-bolt direct mount interface accepts any SRAM AXS chainring, with or without power meter
13-Speed Gravel Gearing
XG-1371 10-46T cassette gives a 460% range with close steps where they matter most
Single chainring keeps the drivetrain simple, light and secure
Force E1 Flattop chain works with both 12-speed road and 13-speed XPLR systems
AXS-Enabled
Connects to the SRAM AXS app to customise shift behaviour and monitor battery levels across all components
