Wireless shift-brake lever
SRAM Force AXS E1 HRD Shift-Brake Lever and Caliper
The 2025 Force AXS E1 shift-brake lever brings much of RED's ergonomics and braking feel to a lower price, supplied per side with a hydraulic Flat Mount caliper. It suits Force road and Force XPLR gravel builds alike.
Highlights
Why we rate it
One-finger braking
Revised lever leverage means a single finger is enough for controlled stops from the hoods as well as the drops.
New hood shape
A curvier, slightly flared lever and refined hood profile give a more secure, comfortable hold on long road days and rough gravel.
Hidden bonus button
A concealed button on the inner face of the hood can be set up in the AXS app for shifting or to control a compatible GPS computer.
Reach Adjust
Lever reach can be brought in for smaller hands without affecting brake performance.
Easy maintenance
Bleeding Edge fittings and Stealth-a-majig hose connection make setup and bleeds quick and tidy.
