SRAM Force CX1: One less hurdle - The new SRAM Force CX1 groupset is a complete, high-performance 1x11 cyclocross drivetrain that combines the best parts of SRAM's revolutionary XX1 mountain bike and road bike technologies. The complete drive with a chainring and eleven gears is lighter, simpler, more robust, while offering an aesthetic look and optimal gear selection for cyclocross. SRAM Force CX1 provides optimized chain guidance and smooth shifting, no matter what the conditions or terrain. It is the only true cyclocross system with a chainring.
Cyclocross braking systems have remained at a pretty medieval state. Sure, they're fancier and lighter, but rudimentary. While space-age technology has driven the development of frames and drivetrains, road bike brake technology has been stuck in the age of horseshoes and horse-drawn carriages.
SRAM, with the Avid brand already a long time leader in hydraulic braking technology, has revolutionized the braking systems for road bikes and introduces hydraulic technology for versatile purposes: disc or rim brake - SRAM will stop what you have driven - faster and with better modulation.
The SRAM Force CX1 ErgoDynamics™ Hydraulic brake lever was spawned from the DNA of SRAM's "best in class": SRAM RED, which represents SRAM's most advanced thinking when it comes to the perfection of the interface between cyclocross rider and bike.
Heat is the enemy of any braking system. Better heat management will make your ride much safer, too. SRAM has found that it takes three times longer for DOT 5.1 to reach boiling point than DOT 4. This ensures smooth and never diminishing braking power in even more extreme conditions.
What is DoubleTap? DoubleTap® is SRAM's key technology that replaces legacy technology. The combination of brake and shift lever has not proven itself. SRAM RED, SRAM Force, SRAM Rival and SRAM Apex have a brake lever that brakes and a shift lever that shifts.
The advantages of DoubleTap®: With DoubleTap® you shift faster and easier. There is only one direction of movement. To shift up, a short tap is enough. To shift to a lower gear, you simply push the lever further down.
This is how DoubleTap works: The ingenious thing about DoubleTap® technology is the constant direction of movement of the shift lever. With a short, quick tap, the transport pawl moves the ratchet wheel up through the shift range. For a lower gear, the lever is moved a longer distance. In the process, the retaining and transport pawls overlap quickly and cleanly.
Free choice of grip position: The almost linear direction of movement of the DoubleTap® levers offers yet another advantage. The shift lever can be operated from almost any grip position. Unique is the fact that the shift lever can be pulled to the handlebar like the trigger of a pistol! You can shift up in a sprint without releasing the grip on the handlebars.
Your advantage: the efficient, ergonomic design saves weight and offers more comfort in return. You can also shift while sprinting, which gives you a decisive advantage not only in competition. Our single-lever mechanism also allows faster and more precise shifting without having to change your grip on the handlebars. DoubleTap® is the new way of shifting and thinking: make the leap.
The fit and ergonomics of the brake lever is a very personal matter. Riders have individual position preferences as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. With the grip width adjustment, the lever can be adjusted as easily as child's play - for maximum control with just one finger.
ZeroLoss stands for "zero loss." When you press the gear lever to shift up or down a gear, the cable is released instantly for zero lost motion. There's no more idle time waiting for the gear to engage. The gear is changed instantly and precisely.
