Description
The SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 Power Meter delivers precision, simplicity, and durability for riders who push beyond the pavement. Developed for the latest generation of gravel and all-road performance, this integrated Quarq-based power meter provides dual-leg accuracy, efficient wireless data transmission, and seamless compatibility with SRAM’s 1x XPLR ecosystem. Built for exploration but tuned for precision, it transforms every adventure into a measurable, repeatable performance metric.
The heart of the system is SRAM’s proven Quarq D-Zero platform, delivering power accuracy within ±1.5% in all conditions. The spider-based design measures total output from both legs, unaffected by changing temperature or terrain. The fully integrated unit is housed within a lightweight carbon crankset structure, combining stiffness and responsiveness with proven gravel toughness. Its IPX7 waterproof rating ensures reliable function through mud, dust, and unpredictable weather — the true conditions of real-world riding. A standard CR2032 coin-cell battery powers the system for over 200 hours of riding and can be replaced tool-free in seconds.
Optimized for SRAM’s XPLR 1x drivetrain philosophy, the E1 Power Meter supports chainrings from 38T to 46T, offering the ideal gearing range for mixed-surface riding. The direct-mount chainring interface ensures consistent alignment and smooth drivetrain operation, while the narrow-wide tooth profile improves chain retention over rough terrain. Wireless setup through the AXS app makes configuration simple — allowing easy firmware updates, zero offset calibration, and integration with head units and training platforms. Every watt, cadence value, and torque reading is captured and transmitted with the precision of a lab-grade device, without ever complicating the ride experience.
Structurally, the carbon crankarms mirror the E1 series’ performance DNA: low weight, high stiffness, and impact-tested reliability. The minimalist finish and subtle graphics reflect SRAM’s refined aesthetic, while the fully integrated spider design eliminates unnecessary hardware, reducing mass and potential maintenance points. Whether you’re tackling endurance gravel races, tempo efforts on tarmac, or long exploratory rides into the unknown, the Force XPLR AXS E1 Power Meter provides the insight and consistency to refine your training, pacing, and efficiency in every environment.
The SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 Power Meter redefines gravel performance metrics — precise enough for race analysis, tough enough for expedition rides, and simple enough for everyday use. It’s power measurement that disappears into the ride until you need the data — the perfect fusion of exploration and precision.
