Technologies used
In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.
AXS™
AXS is SRAM's new integrated platform to connect electronic bicycle components with software. The SRAM AXS™ app not only allows the rider to check the battery level, influence shifting behavior and configure the controls according to personal preferences, but also to create maintenance plans and update the firmware.
eTap
Wireless shifting, energy management of the batteries and mechatronics - SRAM's RED eTAP technology serves one goal: to offer you the most intuitive possible operation. We refer to the switching logic behind it as eTAP. The right lever shifts to the higher gear, the left to the lower gear. You can control the chainrings using both levers. Simple, smooth and intuitive.
Contact point adjustment
Some people like the instantaneous power delivery of short lever travel. Others, on the other hand, prefer the feel of longer lever travel. With the touch point adjustment you can determine the position where you want your fingers to be where the brakes are applied. This allows you to quickly and easily adapt the feel of your brakes to your needs without having to move the brake pads. In addition, both brake levers can be adjusted so that they feel exactly the same.
Reach Adjust
The fit and ergonomics of the brake lever is a very personal matter. Riders have individual position preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. With the reach adjustment, the lever can be easily adjusted - for maximum control with just one finger.
Bleeding Edge™
With this new brake fluid circuit, the bleed port has been moved to the underside of the caliper and has access to all four piston bores. Thus, during bleeding, the caliper is naturally filled with fluid, allowing for easier and more even bleeding.
X Range™
Road bikes are faster and more capable than ever before, and riders continue to show what road handlebar bikes are capable of. X-Range™™ is the translation for the modern way of riding road bikes. SRAM has completely redesigned the road bike transmission, for more range of transmission, a more pleasant and better usable gear stepping and, thanks to AXS™, also smarter shift settings. With X-Range™™ you're always in the right gear.
