Force 22. READY FOR YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE. No matter how you define yourself as a rider, with SRAM Force 22 you will achieve a new personal best, because it makes no compromises in terms of quality, functionality and scope. SRAM has completely redesigned the Force and equipped it with all the important innovations of SRAM RED - without compromising on cool looks, ergonomics, efficiency and low weight. In addition to this general overhaul, SRAM Force also offers twenty-two usable gears, high shifting speed and precision thanks to YAW™ technology, which can only be achieved by SRAM RED, as well as a new elegant finish. The understated SRAM Force groupset is for rational people with an irrational passion for performance. It's SRAM's most exciting introduction in 2013 and is designed to fulfill every conceivable desire of every rider at every level - it's just waiting to beat your best.
It's the front derailleur that changes everything on the Force 22 - giving riders the freedom to shift at incredible speeds, any sprocket, any chainring, with no trim level, no chain rattle. The rotating Yaw™ derailleur was just another elegant solution to a problem that has plagued drivetrains for decades: instead of using a trim function with multiple and confusing micro-shifting movements, the SRAM Force 22 Yaw™ derailleur rotates with the skew of the chain. As a result, shifting feels more direct and precise, the system works as a unit; with the chain, the crank and the chainrings.
- The slim spring design avoids obstructions in the frame.
- Optimized for shifting with X-GlideR chainrings.
- The best combination of aluminum and steel creates SRAM's strongest and most durable cage ever.
- Markings for precise mounting.
- The integrated chain catcher offers optimum protection for the frame, keeps the chain on the chainrings and can be adjusted independently of the derailleur.
A clamp for diameters 31.8mm and 34.9mm is available separately.Material: Steel
