SRAM Force Groupset

The Force groupset is designed for modern road frames with flat-mount disc brakes and requires a frame compatible with SRAM DUB bottom brackets. You will also need wheels equipped with an XDR driver body to accommodate the 12-speed cassette.

The system uses independent batteries for the front and rear derailleurs, which communicate wirelessly with the shifters. This eliminates the need for internal cable routing, making installation cleaner and maintenance significantly easier.

Yes, because the groupset features full AXS integration, you can use the SRAM AXS app on your smartphone to customize button functions, check battery levels, and update firmware. You can also configure features like sequential or compensating shifting modes to suit your riding style.

The updated lever ergonomics are specifically designed to provide better leverage and modulation with just your index finger. This allows you to keep a more secure grip on the hoods while braking, which improves control and reduces hand fatigue during long descents.

While it eliminates the need for cable housing cutters and internal routing tools, you will still need standard bike tools like a torque wrench, a DUB bottom bracket tool, and a cassette lockring tool. Because it is electronic, you will also need the included battery charger.
