I’ve had batteries from all three companies’ systems die during rides, and it sucks on all of them. The bugaboo with electronic drivetrains is keeping them charged. As with other eTap systems, the front and rear derailleur batteries are easy to pop on and off, and – if need be – swap between derailleurs. The former uses rechargeable and swappable batteries that snap into each derailleur, while the latter use a single battery to power the whole system. Force eTap AXS HRD batteries and computer integrationĪside from shifting logic, SRAM also diverges from Shimano and Campagnolo on electronic-drivetrain battery style. A Giant Revolt is serving as the test bed for SRAM’s Force eTap AXS HRD. Force eTap AXS HRD shifts and brakes cleanly, and integrates easily with computers like Wahoo’s Bolt or Garmin’s Edge models. This means you can get a wider gear range, and also use smaller and thus lighter chainrings.Īfter a few good gravel rides on the group, I’m struggling to understand why you’d want to pay more for the top-tier Red eTap AXS HRD group. That means you can mix and match - with some limitations - mountain bike and road AXS components.Ĭampagnolo and Shimano cassettes go down to an 11-tooth small cog SRAM, thanks to a reworked cassette driver, goes down to a 10-tooth. The AXS moniker denotes the unique gearing, as well as integration with any other component labeled AXS.
The 12-speed group is wireless for shifting, and comes in rim-brake and hydraulic (HRD) options. The left-lever button puts the chain in an easier cog, the right-lever button puts it in a harder cog, and pressing both buttons moves the chain between the chainrings. If you are unfamiliar with SRAM’s eTap shifting system, it’s simple: Unlike Shimano and Campagnolo, which have two buttons per lever, SRAM has one on each side, behind the brake lever. Orbit technology offers next-level chain management for all the places a drop bar bike can go.Get access to everything we publish when you At the core of this drivetrain is AXS - the electronic integration platform that allows you to easily personalize the groupset right from your phone and enable your choices while riding. The SRAM eTap Force AXS Electronic Groupset offers exceptional range, smooth gear progression and the simplicity of SRAM eTap.
