You've been asking for it for a long time, and it's finally here. The new SRAM Force is a total game changer. How does it differ from the previous generation, and is it worth making the switch?
Force AXS HRD Shift-Brake System
All-new hood ergonomics are now available for the Force. This system features stiffer calipers, one-finger braking from the hoods and drops, Bonus Buttons, and textured surfaces to locate and actuate the buttons and controls easily. The improvements made resulted from over four years of rider feedback, providing an even wider range of riders with the same level of comfort and control, while also eliminating the possibility of finger pinch under hard braking. Less effort, less hand fatigue, a lighter feel, and more comfortable, powerful braking.
