Gearhead Pick
High-performance RED AXS lever set with optimized ergonomics and hydraulic modulation
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“Between the ergonomic redesign, the lighter weight, and the flexibility of AXS customization, these levers hit the sweet spot for racers and dedicated riders. The braking feel is smooth and predictable, and the Bonus Button adds extra control options without cluttering the cockpit.”
Designed for riders who demand precision control and minimal hand fatigue, the SRAM RED AXS HRD Shift/Brake combines advanced ergonomics with fully wireless shifting integration. The lever body features a reshaped hood that increases hand support during extended climbs and aggressive descending, while textured paddles provide clear tactile feedback for fast, accurate shifts.
Hydraulic braking delivers consistent stopping power with refined modulation, allowing riders to maintain speed through technical descents with confidence. Reach Adjust makes the system adaptable across hand sizes, and the Bonus Button expands cockpit functionality with the ability to activate ANT+ devices or add auxiliary shift points. At 83 grams lighter than the previous generation, the updated RED platform keeps weight low without sacrificing durability.
Built for top-tier performance, this system pairs seamlessly with AXS drivetrains to deliver smooth wireless shifting and customizable control for race-day precision or endurance-mile efficiency.
