The crank appears to be the only compatible component. Red/Force chain, cassette, derailleur go together and Eagle chain, cassette, derailleur go together.

11spd chainrings are officially incompatible.
Even Eagle chainrings are officially incompatible.
Road AXS chainrings are compatible with Eagle AXS chains tthough.

It costs to be an early adopter I guess. Saw a guy on our club run turn up on a brand new Madone with SRAM Red ETAP, he looked the business!
I think everyone who turned up after him did a double take and said.. is that the new SRAM.. yes -Captain Obvious.. he must get that a lot!

I saw the same when I had the new ETAP 11 speed. Now with Campy Super Record 12 nobody notices
Marketing hype at its best.
Force might be an idea for the future, I liked the system on ETAP but with a Colnago C60 I just couldn't...
I am building a titanium bike so taking into account the new force etap

Down the line, You still have to deal with retail prices of cassettes, chains and what not. XG-1270 cassette is 190 eur (!) and the Force chain is 35 eur. Of course changing cassette and chain is not an everyday occurrence, but at these prices, you may want to factor in running cost or possible repairs, before making a decision.

I have chosen Ultegra R8070 instead of Force AXS for my new bike, the weight is important for me, and the money also.
If you check Rose pages you see that Sram sells this groupsets very cheap to the bike brands and too expensive directly to the customer.

This is true of Shimano too...except Shimano has been bad about discouraging the resale of OEM groups from the likes of Wiggle/CRC/Bike24, Merlin, Ribble, etc.

I'm about to order all parts for my BMC Timemachine Road, it’s going to be a Sram Force 1 AXS Aero setup. I’m looking for the chainset, which I’d like to be the “SRAM FORCE 1 AXS™ POWER METER” with the 48t chainring. Please see attached image.
On Srams website, it seems like there are two options:
1: Try to find Model ID “PM-FRC-1-D1” with 48t somewhere (nothing on google seems to know what that is), or..
2. Get the “SRAM AXS™ AERO POWER METER KIT” and somehow find some Force AXS crank arms. Sram has already confirmed with me that this power meter kit is used for both Red and Force.
Neither of these options lead me to a SRAM article number, or a webshop where I can find it. Any clues?

I don't expect you'll be able to find Force crankarms for purchase without standard spider and chainring(s). The part number for power meter unit with built-in 48T aero chainring is 00.3018.227.000 according to
the Quarq website.
