About The SRAM Force 1 11-Speed Gray Rear Derailleur
The SRAM Force 1 is a dedicated 1x mechanical 11-speed road rear derailleur with a clutch, built on SRAM's mountain-bike 1x technology. The clutch removes chain slack for quieter, more secure chain travel on gravel and cyclocross courses.
It uses SRAM Exact Actuation and mounts to a standard hanger. This listing offers a long cage and a medium cage, both in gray; SRAM lists 36t and 42t maximum cogs and 25t and 32t capacity across the two.
Who It's For
- Cyclocross, gravel and road riders on SRAM 11-speed 1x drivetrains.
- Riders replacing a Force 1 or Force CX1 derailleur.
- Consider a different derailleur if you run a 2x crank: Force 1 is 1x only.
What to Look For
- Cage: Long or medium. SRAM lists a 36t–42t maximum cog range across the two; pick by your largest cog.
- Shifter pull: SRAM Exact Actuation 11-speed road.
- Drivetrain: 1x only.
Key Features
Clutch. Keeps chain tension constant so the chain stays put through rough sections and remounts.
1x-specific design. Built without the need to manage a front shift, which allows the wider cage and capacity numbers.
Two cage lengths. SRAM lists 25t and 32t of capacity and weights of 262 g and 271 g across the two cages.
Rider Intent Summary
- Biggest strengths: Clutch chain control and 42t reach on 11-speed road shifters.
- Tradeoffs: 1x only; 11-speed is an older platform.
- What makes it different: SRAM's mountain 1x technology adapted to road levers.
Victory's Take
We keep the Force 1 on hand for 11-speed 1x cross and gravel bikes that still have plenty of life. Victory Bicycle Studio can help match the cage to your cassette.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free shipping?
We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.
How much does shipping cost?
For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!
