Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses for this product.

AXS ™
AXS ™ is the new integrated platform from SRAM to connect electronic bicycle components with the software. The SRAM AXS ™ app enables the driver not only to check the battery level, to influence the switching behavior and to configure the controls according to personal preferences, but also to create maintenance plans and update the firmware.

eTap®
Wireless switching, energy management of the batteries and mechatronics - SRAM's eTAP technology serves one goal: to offer you the most intuitive possible operation. The switching logic behind it is called eTAP by SRAM. The right lever shifts to the higher, the left to the lower gear. You can control the chainrings with both levers. Simple, smooth and intuitive.

X-Range ™
Racing bikes are faster and more powerful than ever and the riders keep showing what bikes with racing handlebars are capable of. X-Range ™ is the translation for the modern way of riding a racing bike. SRAM has completely redesigned the racing bike gear ratio, for a wider gear ratio, a more comfortable and more usable gear ratio and, thanks to AXS ™, also smarter gear changes. With X-Range ™ you are always in the right gear.

orbit
Orbit technology is an innovative and new way of controlling the movement of the rear derailleur. It uses a silicone fluid as part of an elegant and ultra-light damper system. Compared to a conventional friction clutch system, Orbit technology does not exert any additional resistance on the rear derailleur spring during slow or light movements. This means easier gear changes and a simplified removal of the impeller. And the fluid damper reduces chain slap while driving. That means a bombproof reliability for single and double drives.
