SRAM RED® ETap AXS™ Aero Shift Kit 1×12

For SRAM, the electronic RED® eTap AXS™ shifting system is no less than a revolution. Maximum performance combined with ultimate flexibility were part of the engineers’ requirement specification. For the first time in the history of the US-American component manufacturer, a road bike shifting system has a total of 12 sprockets at the rear wheel.

The SRAM RED® eTap AXS™ Aero shift kit is an optimised version that is specifically developed for your aero bike or triathlon racer. In contrast to the standard version, the shift and brake levers of this version are replaced by Blips™ and Clics™.

Thanks to the X-Range™ technology, the RED® eTap AXS™ not only impresses with smoother shifting, but also with an improved gear ratio that helps combine small gear steps with a wide range of gears in a clever way. Yet, the proven and intuitive eTap shifting logic remained unchanged. In addition, SRAM now offers the possibility to connect the shifting system to the AXS™ app and to customize it. You can now choose for example between a sequential and a compensating shifting mode or determine the number of shifted sprockets in the Multishift mode. In addition, the electronic integration platform allows you to monitor the battery status, adjust the controllers, receive maintenance reminders and update the firmware. In short – with the RED eTap AXS™ by SRAM, ambitious cyclists will finally enter the digital age!

Blips™, Clics™ and AXS™ Blipbox

It’s time to shift forward.
This special aero version of the RED® eTap AXS™ shift kit comes without the shift and brake levers that are usually fitted as standard. Instead, your control centre consists of Blips™, Clics™ and the AXS™ BlipBox. Blips™ are individually positioned on the base bar or aero bar extensions and allow for comfortable shifting in accordance with the rider’s preferences and position on the bike. Clics™ are used to fit Blips™ into the ends of the extensions. They allow you to comfortably change gears with your thumb or finger when riding in an extremely aerodynamic riding position, without having to change the position of your hands, The AXS™ BlipBox is centrally positioned on the stem/bar. It accommodates the cables and serves as an interface to the rear derailleur.

Rear derailleur

The RED® eTap AXS™ rear derailleur is an interactive masterpiece featuring a long list of top technologies for more silent and more efficient road shifting. The single rear derailleur covers all possible gear combinations (including single speed and double speed).
A particular highlight is the SRAM Orbit™ technology. A rear derailleur movement control mechanism that uses a special silicone fluid as part of the damping system. Compared to standard roller bearing clutch mechanisms, this technology creates no additional resistance at the spring of the rear derailleur. This allows for smoother and faster shifting. Besides, the fluid damper reliably maintains chain tension while riding for maximum chain control even in rough terrain.
