Sram APEX eTap AXS disc brake

Smooth and powerful hydraulic brakes combined with an intuitive 12-speed wireless groupset: the Sram Apex disc brakes with the electronic AXS shift-brake levers

Sram Apex AXS HRD Disc shift-brake lever:

The optimised shape of the lever body adapts to all hand sizes and ensures comfortable and controlled braking in all positions. Shifting is as simple as ever: one button to shift to a lighter gear and one to select a heavier one. Nothing extra, nothing distracting. Fully wireless electronic shifting combined with fully hydraulic disc brakes, HRD. The award-winning eTap shift logic combined with the connectivity of AXS. The Sram Rival AXS eTap shift levers build on this foundation and combine it with the latest technologies. What’s more, they are now even easier to personalise, from customising shift sequences to adjusting lever reach. SRAM Apex eTap brake-shift levers feature race-car-inspired paddle shift logic that virtually eliminates accidental upshifts when downshifting, whilst keeping shifting precise, fast and simple. The ErgoBlade levers and large SRAM eTap shift paddles offer reliable control and good feedback.

SRAM AXS technology

AXS is the electronic integration platform that connects SRAM’s electronic bike components and software. AXS components communicate wirelessly using 128-bit encryption. Each time a groupset comprising, for example, shift levers, front derailleur and rear derailleur is paired, a unique code is generated to prevent interference with other riders.
The SRAM AXS app allows you to view battery status, adjust component behaviour, customise controllers, receive maintenance reminders and update the firmware.
This app is available free of charge from the App Store for iOS and Android

SRAM Orbit Technology

Orbit technology uses a special silicone fluid as part of a very lightweight damping system. Compared to a conventional friction clutch system, the technology produces no additional resistance on the rear derailleur spring during slow or light movement. This means smoother shifting and easier removal of the rear wheel. Whilst riding, the fluid damper keeps the chain reliably under control. With high reliability and chain tension, for 2x and 1x systems.

Sram AXS Hydraulic disc brake

The disc brakes from the eTap AXS series, designed for brake rotors up to 160 mm. The hydraulic SRAM disc brake offers optimum braking performance with minimal operating forces and precise modulation. The loss of power and friction caused by cable transmission in classic cable-actuated brakes is eliminated with this system. Braking performance remains consistent in all weather conditions. Thanks to the separation of the rim/tyre and the braking surface, issues with heat build-up are elegantly resolved. SRAM uses DOT 5.1 fluid as its brake fluid, which is particularly heat-resistant.

Flat Mount Standard:

The new Flat Mount caliper standard for road bike brakes reduces weight and offers a significantly sleeker look. With the Flat Mount standard, the rear caliper sits directly on the chainstay, with a bolt spacing of 35 mm; no adapter is required for caliper mounting. The bolts pass through the chainstay from below directly into the brake caliper. A flat adapter is still required on the fork; the fork mount has a bolt spacing of 75 mm, and the brake caliper is the same as that used on the rear wheel. The adapter is screwed onto the rear of the fork leg, with the brake sitting directly on the adapter. By flipping the adapter, the available brake disc sizes of 140 and 160 mm can be changed.

Compatibility:

The SRAM Apex AXS eTap Disc shifter is compatible with all AXS eTap rear derailleurs and front derailleurs, road and MTB. SRAM Flat Mount brake calipers with straight hose connections can be used. Even if you only intend to use a single-chainring setup, you will need both a right and a left shifter, as each lever has only one switch.
