Description
SRAM Force eTap AXS Shift/Brake Lever
Precision Meets Tradition
Engineered for cyclists who demand both classic reliability and cutting-edge technology, this lever system merges mechanical braking durability with seamless electronic shifting (AXS). Ideal for road riders prioritizing control during long climbs or high-speed descents, it supports 12-speed drivetrains while retaining compatibility with standard mechanical rim brakes.
Key Advantages
- Adaptive Shifting Logic: Intuitive eTap® button sequencing reduces mis-shifts during sprints or technical descents
- Ergonomic Customization: +/- 3mm reach adjustment accommodates gloves of all thicknesses (tested with winter cycling gloves)
- Blips Integration Ready: Dual-side ports enable optional Blip shift buttons for one-handed gear changes
- Weight Optimized: 15% lighter than comparable mechanical levers while maintaining 160N braking force

Designed for gravel road transitions and criterium sprints alike, this lever system pairs perfectly with SRAM Apex/Force groupsets while offering drop-in replacement for Shimano/SRAM mechanical setups. The short-pull design ensures consistent modulation across brake pad wear cycles – critical for 200km+ stage races.
Available exclusively in matte black finish to complement both classic steel frames and modern carbon builds. Note: Requires separate AXS battery (not included) for full electronic functionality.
