Highlights
Why we rate it
Wireless shifting
AXS eTap logic is intuitive: right paddle for a harder gear, left for an easier one, with no cables to route or adjust.
Hydraulic braking
Two-piston hydraulic calipers give strong, well-modulated stopping power in all weathers.
Comfortable hoods
The hood shape is designed to fit a wide range of hands, with textured surfaces for grip on rough surfaces.
Reach Adjust
Lever reach can be tuned for smaller hands or a personal fit.
Works across AXS
Pairs with any SRAM AXS derailleur, including Apex XPLR AXS and Eagle AXS for mullet gravel setups.
