SRAM Force XPLR eTap AXS Rear Derailleur

No, the Force XPLR eTap AXS rear derailleur is specifically engineered for 1x drivetrains. It is optimized to handle the gear range of XPLR cassettes without the need for a front derailleur.

This derailleur is designed to work exclusively with SRAM's 10-44T XPLR cassettes and 10-36T cassettes. It will not function correctly with cassettes larger than 44 teeth.

If you already own other SRAM eTap AXS components, you can use your existing eTap batteries. This derailleur is fully compatible with all standard SRAM eTap batteries.

The larger X-SYNC pulleys are designed to improve chain retention and increase the durability of the drivetrain. They also help reduce friction, leading to a more efficient and quieter ride compared to standard pulley sizes.

SRAM AXS connectivity allows you to personalize your shifting preferences and update firmware via the AXS app on your smartphone. It also enables integration with other AXS-enabled components, such as dropper posts or power meters, for a more cohesive ride.

Yes, it features advanced chain management technology specifically built to keep the chain secure and quiet over rough terrain. It is a robust choice for riders who frequently transition between pavement and challenging off-road surfaces.
