At SRAM, they know that if a technological advancement clutters the experience, it shouldn't be called an advancement at all. Because it's a bicycle. It's supposed to be simple. To make something elegant to the point where it removes what's in the way... that's advancement. And that is the standard SRAM held themselves to while developing their first electronic shifting system. It's called SRAM Red eTap.
Featuring SRAM's advanced shift logic (right lever makes it harder, left lever makes it easier, both levers to change the front rings) with SRAM Red eTap you will shift more, with less effort and spend less time doing it. Shifting has never been more intuitive or as easy as this.
And SRAM Red eTap is engineered to go the distance. It has been rigorously and successfully tested for years on the professional and WorldTour level. And now, it's ready for the rest of the world. Are you ready to shift forward?
SRAM Red eTap HRD Shift-Brake Control with hydraulic flat mount disc brake caliper
Without wires or cables, SRAM was able to design a simpler way to shift. eTap features race-car-inspired paddle shift logic that virtually eliminates mistaking upshifts for downshifts, while keeping shifting precise, fast, and easy. Now, the intuitive simplicity of SRAM RED eTap is available with the added performance of hydraulic road disc brakes (HRD). The SRAM Red eTap HRD shift-brake control offers the world's first wireless drivetrain with their most advanced HRD platform yet, HydroHC. Simpler shifting, better braking-all in the name of true advancement.
Features
eTap -All of the underlying tech in our new SRAM Red eTap groupset such as wireless shifting, advanced battery power management and mechatronics technologies are all meant to serve one ultimate purpose, to facilitate the most intuitive and consistent shifting available. This shift logic is called eTap. Right lever makes it harder, left lever makes it easier, both levers shift the front derailleur. Simple, unmistakable, and intuitive.
Bleeding Edge -Bleeding Edge technology makes bleeding brakes quick and simple. An updated fluid path and bleed porting make it easier to push fluid through the caliper. A dedicated bleed adapter plugs into the bleed port and seals the system to minimize air contamination and fluid loss.
Contact Point Adjustment -Some people like the instantaneous power of a short lever throw. Others prefer the feel of a longer throw. With Contact Point Adjust, you can pick the position you want your fingers to be in when your brakes are engaged. It's a quick and easy way to customize the feel of your brakes without having to move the pads. It's also a way to balance both brake levers to feel exactly the same.
Reach Adjust -Brake lever fit and feel is a personal thing. Riders have individual positioning preferences, as well as unique hand sizes and finger lengths. Reach Adjust makes it easy to adjust your lever for maximum one-finger control for everyone.
Airea -Utilizing 128-bit encryption, eTap shift signals are transmitted and received in accordance with SRAM's proprietary wireless protocol known as AIREA. Each time an eTap groupset is paired, a new encryption code is generated and assigned to the components in this group to ensure complete shifting security.
Compatibility: Compatible with SRAM Red eTap Derailleurs, only. Not compatible with products of other manufacturers.
