Innovation often comes from places you"d least expect. In order to make a lighter crankset, SRAM made it bigger. To add stiffness, they used less material. The SRAM FORCE22 crankset makes better use of carbon fiber to further improve stiffness and shed weight. The stunning 11 speed X Glide R chainrings are optimized for use with the YAW Technology in the front derailleur, delivering seamless, flawless performance and 22 usable gears.
