Force AXS HRD Shift-Brake System

All new hood ergonomics are now available for Force. This system has stiffer calipers, one-finger braking from the hoods and drops, Bonus Buttons, and texture to easily locate and actuate the buttons and controls. The improvements made resulted from over four years of rider feedback, giving an even wider range of riders the same level of comfort and control while also eliminating the possibility of finger pinch under hard braking. Less effort, less hand fatigue, a lighter feel and more comfortable, powerful braking.

Technology

Bleeding Edge

With this new caliper fluid circuitry, the bleed port has been moved to the bottom of the caliper, and all four piston bores can communicate. This way, during bleeding fluid naturally fills the caliper, resulting in an easier, more consistent bleed.

Reach Adjust

Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone.

eTap

All of the underlying tech in our new SRAM RED eTap groupset, such as wireless shifting, advanced battery power management, and mechatronics technologies, are meant to serve one ultimate purpose: to facilitate the most intuitive and consistent shifting available. This shift logic is called eTap. Right lever makes it harder, left lever makes it easier, both levers shift the front derailleur. Simple, unmistakable, and intuitive.

AXS

AXS is SRAM's new bike component integration system that connects electronic bicycle components and software. The SRAM AXS app allows riders to see battery status, change component behavior, personalize controls, get maintenance reminders, and update firmware.
