SRAM Force eTap AXS Groupset

This groupset is designed for modern road frames that support flat-mount disc brakes and braze-on front derailleurs. Because it is fully wireless, you will need to ensure your frame has the appropriate clearance for the 12-speed cassette and disc rotors, but you won't need to worry about routing shift cables through your frame.

The system is fully sealed and rated for all-weather performance, meaning rain, mud, and road grit will not interfere with the wireless signal or the shifting mechanism. The hydraulic disc brakes also provide consistent, reliable stopping power regardless of the weather conditions.

Yes, through the SRAM AXS app, you can easily customize your button assignments and configure features like sequential or compensating shifting. The app also allows you to monitor battery levels and update firmware to ensure your drivetrain is always running the latest software.

Maintenance is significantly reduced compared to mechanical systems because there are no cables to stretch or housing to replace. You will primarily need to keep the chain clean and lubricated, ensure the derailleur batteries are charged, and occasionally bleed the hydraulic brake lines.

Yes, the 12-speed cassette requires an XDR driver body on your rear hub. If your current wheels use a standard HG freehub body, you will likely need to purchase an XDR driver conversion kit from your wheel manufacturer to make them compatible.

You can generally expect about 60 hours of ride time per charge for the derailleurs. The coin-cell batteries in the shift levers typically last for up to two years, making them very low maintenance.
