The SRAM RED E1 Crankset is SRAM’s lightest and most refined road crankset, engineered for maximum power transfer, minimal weight, and precise front shifting performance. Designed for elite-level road racing and high-performance endurance builds, it delivers a highly optimized balance of stiffness, efficiency, and drivetrain smoothness. Key Features & Benefits Ultra-Light Hollow Carbon ConstructionRefined carbon layup reduces weight while increasing stiffness, making it one of the most efficient cranksets in SRAM’s lineup. The E1 revision further reduces mass compared to prior generation designs. X-Range 2x Gearing OptimizationDesigned around SRAM X-Range chainring combinations (46/33T, 48/35T, 50/37T), it provides tight, efficient cadence progression with minimal front shift disruption. One-Piece 2x Chainring Interface (Stiffness Upgrade)Integrated chainring design improves structural rigidity and reduces flex under load, resulting in faster, more direct power transfer during sprints and climbs. DUB Spindle System for Durability and CompatibilityThe SRAM DUB interface simplifies bottom bracket compatibility while improving bearing longevity and drivetrain stiffness consistency across conditions. Optimized Front Shifting PerformanceTuned for SRAM AXS electronic front derailleurs, delivering crisp, fast, and predictable front shifts under high torque conditions. Power Meter Upgrade CompatibilityThe crankset is designed to accept SRAM’s AXS power meter ecosystem, allowing riders to upgrade to integrated power measurement without changing crank arms. Expanded Fit Range Including 160mm OptionNow includes shorter crankarm options (down to 160mm), reflecting modern fit trends for improved biomechanics and cadence efficiency.
