Effortless Expanded
Meet the drivetrain that matches your dedication to gravel. Force XPLR AXS seamlessly blends resilience and precision in a light and fast gravel-specific package. From simpler setup with a robust Full Mount derailleur to better braking with redesigned controls, this fully wireless 13-speed generation of Force works hard so you don’t have to.
Full Mount Precision
Fast, precise shifting with easier setup. The Full Mount Force XPLR AXS derailleur removes hanger variances to provide perfect shifting with no adjustment screws.
Full Mount Resilience
Simpler and stronger, with no need for a derailleur hanger. Attaching to frames with the UDH interface, the Full Mount Force XPLR AXS rear derailleur centers on the rear axle for the ultimate impact resistance.
The Gravel Gearing Sweet Spot, Perfected
All the range you need to climb, with tight gear jumps to push the pace. The 13-speed 10-46T Force XPLR cassette keeps you in the right gear with a comfortable cadence, no matter the course.
Effortless Braking
One-finger braking from anywhere you please, on any riding surface. Force brakes require 80% less effort when braking from the hoods, and 33% less effort from the drops. Brake with more comfort, control, and power than ever before.
Superior Chain Management
Push as hard as you want, and your chain will always be in the right place. Even on the toughest terrain, the 1x-specific design of the Force XPLR AXS derailleur and its incredibly strong clutch will keep your chain running securely and smoothly.
More Resilience and Precision, Less Weight
At 2686 grams, Force XPLR AXS is more than 80 grams lighter than the previous generation.
Rebuild. Replace. Repeat.
The Force XPLR AXS rear derailleur’s incredible robustness will keep you rolling after most impacts, but it features several key replaceable parts for when you hit the deck too hard.
Prepare. Hang. Tighten.
Set up the Force XPLR AXS rear derailleur in three simple steps. No special tools or adjustment screws necessary.
Intuitive, Instant and Always Wireless
Fewer buttons, less to think about. With eTap shift logic, simply press the right button to go harder, the left to go easier. Adding an AXS dropper post? Hit both to actuate it.
Seamless Integration with the Limited Edition Force Karoo
Automatic sensor pairing, advanced battery management, and more right on your bike computer’s screen.
Purple Chain, Purple Chain
We’re expanding the offering of Rainbow to now include Purple at the Force level chain. All the same weight savings, with a bit of pop.
Precise, Spindle-Based Power
You want accurate power data in all weather and course conditions, and the Force AXS power meter delivers dependable performance. With the power measurement unit cleanly hidden inside the DUB spindle, you’ll get the durability, simplicity, and accuracy gravel demands.
