Wireless shift-brake lever
SRAM Rival AXS E1 HRD Shift-Brake Lever and Caliper
The 2025 Rival AXS E1 lever gains a carbon brake blade and the new-generation hood shape, sold per side with a hydraulic Flat Mount caliper. It is the value route into SRAM's latest wireless ergonomics for road and Rival XPLR gravel bikes.
Highlights
Why we rate it
One-finger braking
Braking effort from the hoods is dramatically reduced, so you can scrub speed on long descents with less hand fatigue.
Carbon brake lever
Rival gets a carbon brake blade for the first time, trimming weight and adding a premium feel.
Updated ergonomics
The new hood profile fits a wider spread of hand sizes and textured paddles and hoods keep grip secure in the wet.
Reach Adjust
Lever reach can be shortened for smaller hands or a closer fit.
Wireless simplicity
AXS shifting means no gear cables to route, and setup and customisation are handled in the SRAM AXS app.
