Lightweight AXS shift/brake system that boosts comfort and braking control
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“These RED levers feel incredibly natural in the hand. The hood shape is more supportive than the previous version, the braking power is easy to modulate with just a finger, and the Bonus Button integration is awesome for head-unit control. If you want the smoothest, most customizable wireless shifting experience, RED AXS is as good as it gets.”
The SRAM RED AXS HRD Shift/Brake gives our road setup a noticeable upgrade in comfort, control, and personalization. The redesigned hood shape fits a wide range of hand sizes while creating a more secure platform in both the hoods and drops, helping reduce fatigue on long training rides and steep mountain descents. The textured shift paddles offer confident feel through gloves, and the system’s ultra-light construction trims meaningful grams from the front end.
With full AXS integration, we can dial in shift behavior, button assignments, and auxiliary controls through the app, while the Bonus Button lets us operate head units or activate secondary shift points without breaking position. Hydraulic braking delivers smooth modulation and one-finger stopping power, and Reach Adjust makes it easy to fine-tune lever distance for the perfect fit. Whether we’re optimizing a race bike or refining an endurance build, the RED AXS HRD system gives us refined ergonomics and responsive performance.
