Visually unobtrusive, with a touch of shine - the new Force group with its iridescent look manages this balancing act. Technically, the group builds on the previous generation, with some upgrades from the RED top group and new technologies. The great versatility and adaptability of the Force group has remained the same. From the 1x XPLR setup for gravel bikes to the thoroughbred racing bike with 2x drive, the Force offers many well thought-out gear ratios. For efficient training, there is a suitable Quarq power meter upgrade for every crank version. With the proven AXS standard, you can adapt the shifting behavior to your needs and integrate AXS components from other groupsets or additional shifters into your setup.
Introduced with the RED-AXS group, the Force 2x power meter also has a design integrated into the chainrings that does not require an additional spider and is screwed onto the 8-bolt direct mount of the crank. The design brings more rigidity to the chainrings and is also lighter than the spider version. The small 13-tooth jumps between the chainrings ensure crisp and precise shifting. In combination with the X-Range 12-speed cassettes with high bandwidth, you can stay longer on the big blade and therefore have to shift with the front derailleur less often. Thanks to a unique manufacturing technology, the chainrings have outstanding durability.
The integrated Quarq power meter offers you the most accurate power measurement (+/- 1.5% deviation) that is independent of climatic influences. So that you can work on your weaknesses in a targeted manner, the power meter also measures the power balance between the left and right leg. For use in adverse conditions, the system is waterproof according to the IPX7 standard. LED indicators give you an overview of the battery status. If the battery is empty, the CR2032 button cell can be replaced without tools.
The carbon crank arms combine low weight and high rigidity. Equipped with the proven DUB crankshaft, the Force crank is compatible with all common bottom bracket shells with the appropriate DUB bottom bracket.
