Looking into gravel bikes with the sram 1x drive train. Is Force 1x any different than Rival 1x besides the carbon crank. Is the shifting and braking the same or is there a subtle improvement for the extra money and less weight? Both bikes come with the same cassette and chain, so only the shifter, brakes and crank are different.

I run a Rival 1 set on my All City Nature Cross and a 9-39t cassette. Works wonderfully.
