SRAM Red E1 AXS 2X Groupset Without Hammerhead

The SRAM RED E1 AXS is the definitive choice for riders who demand the lightest, most intuitive electronic shifting on the planet. This latest "E1" generation represents a total overhaul of the flagship groupset, focusing on "effortless perfection." The standout feature is the redesigned hood and lever architecture, which achieves a breakthrough in ergonomics for all hand sizes and offers true one-finger braking from both the hoods and the drops. With expanded gearing options and faster front shifting, it is ideal for elite road racers, weight-weenies, and endurance riders seeking maximum comfort and performance. This specific version excludes the Hammerhead Karoo unit, making it the perfect choice for those who already own a cycling computer or prefer a more streamlined upgrade.

Key Features

• Redesigned Controls: Overhauled hood shape and lever pivot points require 80% less effort to brake from the hoods and 33% less from the drops.

   

• Lightest Electronic Groupset: Shaves 150g off the previous generation, solidifying its place as the lightest wireless 2x system available.

• Bonus Buttons: Integrated buttons on the inner hood surface allow for thumb-actuated shifting or control of ANT+ accessories (like cycling computers or lights).

   

• Orbit™ Chain Management: The rear derailleur uses a fluid damper to keep the drivetrain quiet and secure over rough terrain without needing a heavy mechanical clutch.
