Maintenance, simplicity, weight. (Variation?)

But if you like close range cassettes dont go 1x. My 6870 1x set up is same weight as if I go 9070 (FD, RD, crankset 50.34) and 6800 11-25 cassette.

I like 1x on a winter/commuter bike.

42t with an 11-36 will take you up anything maybe even loaded.

Rotor cranks are pointless for anything really. A lighter and better shifting set up can be had cheaper EVEN if you stay native to sram.

Rotor for bling bling and matching my road bike, if I go 1x then shifting doesn't matter. I do like close ranged cassettes, run an 11-26 year round. After all my umming and arring about All City, I just got a Pilgrims.

Force CX1 is literally a better crankset. The only reason to avoid it (in favour of Rotor 3d24 which is a bit of a pig) is standard/shimano hollowtech BB if you hate GXP.

Go 1x see if you like it, you might. I'd get Rival or even the new Apex 1. Hardly any weight diff.

Get 1170 cassette.
