The SRAM Schaltwerk Force 1 2018 rear derailleur is designed for riders who demand crisp, reliable shifting in a wide range of conditions. Built around SRAM’s proven 1x philosophy, it eliminates the need for a front derailleur, simplifying your drivetrain while still offering a broad gear range when paired with an appropriate cassette. Its robust construction and clutch mechanism help keep the chain under control on rough terrain, reducing chain slap and dropped chains so you can focus on the ride instead of your equipment.
Ideal for cyclocross, gravel, and road riders who appreciate clean lines and low maintenance, the Force 1 derailleur delivers precise, positive shifts with every click. The narrow-wide compatible design and carefully shaped jockey wheels support secure chain retention, even when the course gets muddy or bumpy. Whether you are racing, training, or exploring long mixed-surface routes, the SRAM Force 1 2018 rear derailleur offers a dependable balance of performance, durability, and simplicity that makes it a favorite among dedicated drop-bar riders.
