SRAM Force CX1 11 Speed Rear Derailleur

SRAM Force CX1 11 Speed Rear Derailleur

The Force CX1 11 Speed Rear Derailleur from SRAM adopts all the technologies of SRAM 1x mountain bike technology to provide the fastest, quietest and smoothest 1×11 shifting available.

SRAM’s unique clutch system eliminates chain slack, providing for smoother, quieter, and more secure chain travel. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-Horizon shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with Cage Lock technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever.

Cage Lock

With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation, as well as chain installation, becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

Roller Bearing Clutch

Roller Bearing Clutch (RBC) rear derailleurs deliver maximum drivetrain stability—even through the most punishing terrain. With RBC technology, derailleur bounce and chain slap are eliminated without sacrificing precision.

Exact Actuation (EA)

When SRAM launched their road technology from scratch SRAM re-applied their mountain bike (MTB) proven SRAM 1:1 actuation ratio (shifter cable travel: derailleur movement) for 10 speed rear shifting. EA helps to simplify/stabilise the uneasy act of balancing rear derailleur hanger design, tight cog spacing and exact cable tension. The result: the easiest index shifting system to set up and it stays that way.

X-Horizon

The X-Horizon rear derailleur’s ‘straight parallelogram design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.

X-Sync

SRAM X-Sync 1X chainrings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-Sync tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-Sync chain rings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-Sync rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1X drivetrain.
