SRAM has unveiled a completely redesigned Red AXS groupset with fully wireless connectivity and expanded gearing choices.
chainring combos. The rear derailleur is the
heart of the AXS ecosystem and is lighter, more efficient, and more capable. Covering cassette ranges
from 10-28T up to 10-36T, this wireless setup has larger pulleys to decrease chain articulation and increase efficiency, and an Orbit fluid damper to keep everything in place over the rough stuff. One derailleur ready for 1x or 2x, on road or off. Completing the groupset
New features include accurate and reliable power measurement, new shift points, and more brake adjustability, while still shaving grams off every component to provide the brand’s lightest electronic groupset to-date. The brand has overhauled its hood and lever architecture and achieved breakthroughs for fit across all hand sizes and easy access to more powerful and smoother braking from
anywhere on the bar. Independent reach and contact point adjustment allow for a personalised setup, with no risk of pinching fingers or bottoming out on the bar. Better finger wrap on the hood means less fatigue, and Bonus Buttons let the rider shift or control ANT+ devices with their thumbs. The caliper is not only stiffer, but lighter too, with increased pad clearance for rub-free operation.
According to SRAM, the updated front derailleur offers faster and more reliable shifting with “silent running” across the whole cassette. The Red AXS front
derailleur uses Yaw technology with electronic trim to ensure the fastest possible shift while eliminating chain rub in all combinations, with an easier setup, thanks to a new tool. It is compatible with
46/33T, 48/35T, 50/37T, 52/39T, 54/41T, and 56/43T
is the Red AXS Power Meter, Crankset, four distinct cassette options, and a flat top chain. With Red comes the new Hammerhead Karoo
computer. Featuring a smartphone-quality screen and all-day battery life, Karoo also offers ‘unparalleled’ connectivity with SRAM AXS products and an all-new Hammerhead Companion App to provide an integrated bike experience. A complete groupset has a
retail price of £3,000 including the Hammerhead Karoo but excluding the crankset and cassette. With these added, the groupset retails at £4,090.
