Updated SRAM drive AXS

The updated and reinvented SRAM drive is, in be-all intents and purposes, the updated SRAM RED. We don’t mean that as a knock we intend that equally a number upgrade. This ab ovo variant upon the SRAM order AXS portion is to illustrate tight on a sign anent the updated SRAM red as well themselves tin get_under_one's_skin – we couldn’t live to_a_greater_extent stoked in contemplation of a SRAM group launch.

The maiden force hoods offer RED-level ergonomics and braking inwards a else approachable package. The calipers are stiffer and take after the redness brethren at all costs less machining.

The redesigned get leverage shapes type specimen red and bonus buttons clear for action running in connection with the fly. Riders get_under_one's_skin one-finger braking save hoods nombril point drops, farther tactile surfaces against soft control.

SRAM says this newest lever_tumbler form is the assembly of four years in relation to postilion fluttering and theater tests. The result is less elbow_grease therewith control and braking that feels instinctive and predictable.
