Sram's new Red eTap 1 x12 speed AXS components enhance the way we ride; offering better gear ratios, greater flexibility and durability, with enhanced personalisation and performance. Ideal for TT, Tri, Cyclocross, Gravel and the growing number of 1x Road set ups.
New SRAM RED eTap AXS™ is much more than an evolution. It's a revolution. Sram have created a groupset that's as capable as today's riders and the bikes that they choose. It offers more range, a smoother gear progression, and the simplicity of eTap® shift logic—so that you're always in the right gear. AXS™ - the App that accompanies the group and gives it its name, allows you to easily personalise the groupset right from your phone and enable your choices while riding.
Orbit™ technology offers next-level chain management for all the places a drop bar bike can go. Add in exceptional disc brake performance from the award-winning HRD platform, and it’s true innovation, for true advancement.
X-Range Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders are expanding what’s possible with drop bar bikes. X-Range™ is gearing for today’s road riding. Completely reimagined road gearing that offers wider range, more useful and smoother gear progression, as well as smarter shift settings—enabled by AXS™. With X-Range™, you’re always in the right gear.
X-Sync SRAM X-SYNC™ 1x chainrings provide the highest level of performance and durability. The SRAM X-SYNC™ tall square teeth edges engage the chain earlier than traditional triangle shaped teeth. The sharp and narrow tooth profile, as well as rounded chamfer edges, help manage a deflected chain. To provide the best possible performance in muddy conditions, the X-SYNC™ chainrings have been designed with mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers. Engineered in Germany, X-SYNC™ rings are an integral part of the SRAM 1x™ drivetrain.
XDR The XDR™ driver body is a universal mounting system for cassettes that incorporate cogs with fewer than 11 teeth. It allows for lighter and more versatile drivetrains without requiring new rear axle standards, cassette tools or hub redesigns. The XDR™ interface is 1.85mm longer than XD™ and is designed for road hub applications. XDR™ driver bodies are compatible with all XD™ cassettes when the cassette is installed with a 1.85mm spacer.
Flat Top To enable X-Range™ gearing technology, Sram developed a narrower chain. The unique link shape of Flattop™ technology not only allows for a wider gear range, but also results in quieter drivetrain operation and increased chain strength and durability.
Flow Link Ultra-smooth chain inner-plates are completely devoid of square edges, resulting in a chain that engages the cassette and chainring with far less friction, for quieter performance and better wear life. The design allows a narrower overall profile that can withstand greater angles, and also allows for a flatter outer-plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and enhanced overall strength.
ORBITOrbit™ technology is an innovative new form of derailleur motion control. It utilizes silicon fluid as part of an elegant and ultra-lightweight damper system. Compared to a standard friction clutch system, Orbit technology places no additional resistance on the rear derailleur’s spring when under slow or light movement. This means easier shifting and rear wheel removal.
And while riding, the fluid damper reduces chain bounce. It’s rock-solid reliability for both 1x and 2x systems.
AXS AXS™ is SRAM’s new electronic integration platform that connects electronic bicycle components and software. The SRAM AXS™ App allows riders to see battery status, change component behavior, personalise controls, get maintenance reminders, and update firmware.
Carbon Tuned Strength and stiffness where you need it, lightweight like you want it. Proprietary SRAM carbon lay-up design increases thickness and stiffness at critical stress areas. Tapered, terraced, carbon architecture ensures the greatest weight savings without compromising strength.
DUB The relationship between bottom bracket spindle and bearing is the core of DUB™ technology. It’s where stiffness meets durability. Sram have taken it a step beyond conventional thinking and made everything simpler—better integrating the relationship between chainring, crank, spindle and bottom bracket. It’s this approach to developing a complete system that equals better drivetrain performance.
